Detailed Description

This suspension control arm assembly is built for the front right lower suspension location on Subaru Impreza models from 2004 through 2006. Dorman 524-796 uses a stamped, steel control arm with a bolt-in and press-in ball joint mounting design, plus a threaded ball joint stud for OE-style serviceability. The assembly is pre-greased, includes the ball joint already installed, and comes with bushings and mounting hardware for a complete replacement at the specified position. This part cross-references Subaru 20202FE300 for the same application. For buyers searching for a 2004 Subaru Impreza front right lower control arm, a 2005 Subaru Impreza suspension control arm assembly, or a 2006 Subaru Impreza ball joint and control arm replacement, 524-796 matches the listed fitment.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive front suspension play or looseness
• Clunking or knocking from the lower control arm area

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2004-2006 Subaru Impreza with the front right lower suspension position before ordering. Compare the original control arm, ball joint style, and mounting points to confirm match-up with the OE layout. Because this assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, it is a practical replacement when the original components show wear. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore suspension geometry.
