Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered for Nissan Versa, Versa Note, and Note models that use a front left lower control arm. The stamped steel construction, rubber bushings, and installed ball joint help restore suspension geometry and steering feel after wear, impact damage, or bushing deterioration. Part number 524-101 is a direct-fit replacement for the original assembly on the listed vehicles, making it a straightforward option for front suspension service.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK621577 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Clunking or knocking from a worn lower control arm
  • Loose or inconsistent steering response
  • Uneven tire wear related to suspension wear
  • Excessive play from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
  • Front-end instability after suspension component fatigue

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front left lower position only. Because the ball joint is press-in and already installed, verify the mounting points, pinch-style stud interface, and hole diameter before installation. A professional alignment is recommended after replacement to confirm proper suspension geometry. Part number 524-101 should be matched to the vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-leading evaluation process for this control arm and ball joint assembly to help deliver consistent ride quality, directional stability, and predictable dynamics. The assembly is pre-greased and supplied as a direct replacement for the original equipment design on the listed Nissan applications.
