Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the front left lower suspension position. The design combines a steel control arm, rubber bushings, and an installed ball joint to restore proper suspension geometry and steering response on 2011-2023 Chrysler 300, 2017-2023 Dodge Challenger, and 2011-2023 Dodge Charger models.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm assembly
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Excess play from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
• Front suspension noise during braking, turning, or road impacts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front left lower suspension configuration before ordering. This assembly is not adjustable and uses a press-in ball joint design with a threaded stud. Confirm mounting hole diameter and fitment details against the original part, especially on Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger applications. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment are recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman applies an industry-focused evaluation process to this control arm and ball joint assembly to help maintain OE-level fit and function for the listed applications. The part is supplied pre-greased and includes the ball joint installed for a ready-to-install replacement.
