Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is built for the front left lower suspension position on Subaru Impreza models from 2004 through 2006. The 524-795 combines the control arm, bushings, and ball joint into one OE-style replacement, helping restore suspension geometry and steering response when the original part is worn or damaged. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Constructed from steel with a casting/forged design, this assembly is made for regular-duty use and includes a pre-installed ball joint with rubber bushings. The direct-fit design supports a straightforward replacement on the Subaru Impreza front left lower suspension location, making it a practical choice when servicing worn suspension components. Dorman 524-795 is also referenced by OE-style part numbers 20202FE311 and RK621929.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm assembly
• Uneven steering feel or reduced directional stability
• Suspension play caused by deteriorated bushings
• Ball joint wear that affects front-end alignment and handling
• Restoring proper suspension movement after component damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle application before installation: Fits 2004-2006 Subaru Impreza, front left lower. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because the ball joint is already installed, confirm all mounting points and torque specifications match the vehicle service procedure before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman evaluates this control arm and ball joint assembly through an industry-focused validation process to support OE-style fit and consistent suspension performance. The design is intended to help maintain ride quality, stability, and predictable dynamics on the specified Subaru Impreza applications.
