Detailed Description

Dorman 522-562 is engineered as an OE replacement for the rear right upper suspension position on select INFINITI M35 and M45 models. The assembly is designed to match the original suspension layout and support consistent handling characteristics by combining the control arm, ball joint, and bushings into one serviceable unit. Its aluminum construction and rubber bushings are selected for the specified light-duty suspension application, while the pre-greased ball joint helps simplify installation and initial service.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-7855 and Delphi TC7312 for the same application. The Dorman 522-562 part number is also useful when searching for a rear right upper control arm and ball joint assembly for 2006-2010 INFINITI M35 or 2006-2010 INFINITI M45 models.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn rear upper control arm assembly
• Uneven rear suspension movement or unstable handling feel
• Excess play from a deteriorated ball joint or bushings
• Alignment concerns related to worn suspension pivot points
• Ride quality changes caused by suspension wear at the rear right upper position

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and rear right upper position before installation. Because the ball joint is press-in and already installed, replacement is performed as an assembly rather than by servicing individual wear components. Inspect adjacent suspension parts and fasteners during installation, and confirm alignment after the repair is complete.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-leading evaluation process for this suspension assembly to support proper fit and consistent suspension behavior. The Dorman 522-562 part number is built as a direct replacement for the specified INFINITI applications and is intended to restore OE-style suspension function.
