Detailed Product Overview

This suspension control arm assembly is engineered for the front right lower position on 2009-2013 Subaru Forester, 2011-2014 Subaru Impreza, and 2012-2014 Subaru WRX. Dorman’s evaluation process focuses on fit, ride quality, and suspension behavior so the replacement part follows the original geometry and supports stable steering response. Part number 524-784 is a practical service solution when the original arm, bushings, or ball joint show wear.

This part cross-references Delphi TC7363 and Mevotech Supreme CMS801052 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from a worn front lower control arm
• Loose steering feel caused by ball joint wear
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension play
• Directional instability during braking or cornering
• Cracked or deteriorated control arm bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right lower position and confirm vehicle application before installation. This bolt-on assembly uses two mounting holes with a 12.5 mm mounting hole diameter and does not include mounting hardware. Because the ball joint is already installed and the unit is pre-greased, installation focuses on proper alignment of the arm, fastener torque, and a post-installation wheel alignment.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this control arm and ball joint assembly as a direct replacement part for specific Subaru fitments. The design is evaluated to support OE-style ride characteristics and consistent suspension operation in normal service.
