Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the Nissan Platina front left lower suspension position. The stamped steel arm, rubber bushings, and installed ball joint help restore proper suspension geometry and steering response after wear, impact damage, or bushing deterioration. Part number 524-041 is a practical replacement choice when the original arm shows looseness, noise, or alignment-related issues. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end clunking or knocking from worn suspension joints
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn control arm components
• Suspension play from deteriorated bushings
• Directional instability on Nissan Platina front suspension systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2010 Nissan Platina, front left lower. Verify the mounting style, ball joint stud type, and arm dimensions against the original part before installation. Because the ball joint is pre-greased and installed, this assembly is suited for direct replacement service rather than rebuild work. Professional alignment is recommended after suspension replacement to confirm proper camber and toe settings.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process to help ensure consistent fit, ride quality, and suspension behavior. The 524-041 is built to meet the needs of regular-duty replacement service on the Nissan Platina platform.
