Detailed Product Description

This Dorman suspension control arm (part number 522-393) is designed to replace the lateral arm on Suzuki Verona vehicles, ensuring proper suspension alignment and handling characteristics. The tubular steel construction offers a balance of strength and weight savings, while the black coated finish provides corrosion resistance. The included rubber bushing, with an inside diameter of 14.3 mm and outside diameter of 39.6 mm, helps absorb road vibrations and reduce noise. The control arm features a welded ball joint mounting point with a threaded stud type, though the ball joint itself is not included. This part does not come with mounting hardware or grease fittings, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
