Detailed Description

Dorman 522-012 is a suspension control arm designed for rear suspension repair on 1996-2000 Hyundai Elantra and 1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon models. It uses steel tubular construction for structural support, rubber bushings for suspension isolation, and a coated finish to help resist corrosion in normal service conditions.
