Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is built as an OE-style replacement for the front left lower suspension on the Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The steel boxed arm, rubber bushings, and installed ball joint are selected to support consistent suspension movement and stable steering response. Part number 522-155 is a practical replacement when the original arm shows wear at the bushings or ball joint, or when suspension geometry needs to be restored after service.

This part cross-references Mevotech Original Grade GS801000 for the same application. It also cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS801000 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension wear
• Noise from a worn or failing lower ball joint
• Front suspension play on Mitsubishi Montero Sport models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this assembly in the front left lower position on 1997-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport vehicles. Verify the mounting points, ball joint stud type, and suspension orientation before installation. Because the ball joint is already installed and the unit is pre-greased, setup is streamlined, but final torque should always follow vehicle service specifications. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman states that this assembly goes through an industry-leading evaluation process to help deliver consistent ride quality and predictable dynamics. The design is intended as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed Mitsubishi Montero Sport applications.
