Detailed Description

Dorman 522-944 is a suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered as a direct OE replacement for the front right upper location on Mitsubishi Mighty Max, Dodge Ram 50, and Mitsubishi Montero models within the listed years. The steel boxed arm uses rubber bushings and a press-in ball joint design to match the original suspension layout while supporting directional stability and smooth suspension articulation. This part number, 522-944, is built for regular-duty service and arrives pre-greased with the ball joint already installed.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS801005 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn upper control arm assembly
• Uneven steering feel caused by excess suspension play
• Front-end instability during braking or cornering
• Ball joint wear at the front right upper suspension position
• Rubber bushing deterioration that can affect alignment consistency

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this assembly at the front right upper position only on the listed vehicles. Verify the press-in ball joint orientation, threaded stud engagement, and mounting hole alignment before tightening fasteners. Because suspension components affect alignment, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after installation. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for your Mitsubishi Mighty Max, Dodge Ram 50, or Mitsubishi Montero before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Dorman subjects this control arm and ball joint assembly to an industry-leading evaluation process to help ensure proper fit, smooth ride characteristics, and predictable suspension dynamics. The design follows the original equipment layout for the specified applications, and the pre-greased, serviceable construction supports dependable operation in regular suspension service.
