Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Dorman control arm measures 262.5 mm in overall length and features a tubular steel construction that enhances durability while maintaining a manageable weight. The included rubber bushing, with a length of 92 mm and an outside diameter of 39.6 mm, helps absorb road vibrations and reduce noise. The control arm is adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning of suspension geometry to improve handling and tire wear. The ball joint mounting is welded, and the stud is threaded, though the ball joint itself is not included with this part. This control arm does not come with mounting hardware or grease fittings, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 522-528 control arm requires basic suspension knowledge and tools. Since the ball joint is not included, ensure compatibility with your existing ball joint or purchase separately. The control arm is adjustable, so proper alignment after installation is recommended to maintain vehicle handling and tire life. Mounting hardware is not included, so retain or replace bolts and nuts as necessary. Press-in bushing ends require appropriate tools for removal and installation.
