Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly combines the control arm, ball joint, and bushings in one OE-style replacement for the front right lower suspension position. The stamped steel arm uses a press-in ball joint with a threaded stud, and the assembly is pre-greased for service-ready installation. Dorman part number 522-298 is engineered for light-duty suspension applications where precise alignment, directional stability, and predictable handling matter. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK620364 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front-end looseness or wandering on a Toyota Echo or Toyota Yaris
• Clunking or knocking from a worn lower control arm or ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear at the front right lower corner
• Restoring steering feel after bushing or ball joint deterioration
• Replacing a damaged stamped steel control arm assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and front right lower fitment before installation. The 2004 Toyota Yaris application requires the M14 front bolt note, and the 2003 Toyota Echo application applies from 5/03. Because the ball joint is already installed, this assembly simplifies replacement compared with servicing individual components. A professional alignment is recommended after installation to confirm suspension geometry and steering wheel centering.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this replacement assembly to help support smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable suspension behavior. The 522-298 is built as a direct-fit replacement for select Toyota Echo and Toyota Yaris front right lower applications.
