Detailed Description

This Dorman control arm assembly is built for specific rear suspension applications on the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, 2007-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, and 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz.

• Uneven rear tire wear related to suspension alignment issues
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling on Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, or Hyundai Veracruz
• Restoration of rear suspension geometry after component fatigue
