Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right lower position before installation and compare the original arm to Dorman 522-502 for length, bushing layout, and mounting style. Because the ball joint is not included and mounting hardware is not included, transfer or source the required components as needed for the repair. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work on the Toyota Prius.
