Dorman 524-832 Front Right Lower Control Arm

Dorman 524-832 is a steel suspension control arm for the front right lower position on select Mercedes-Benz SL-Class models with Active Body Control (ABC). It is precision-engineered and tested as a direct replacement for the original equipment control arm, with a coated black finish and rubber bushings for service-ready suspension support.

Key Features

• Steel construction with casting/forged design for strength and dimensional consistency
• Black coated finish for added corrosion resistance
• Rubber bushing included with black bushing color
• Welded ball joint mounting type with threaded stud interface
• No ball joint installed and no grease fitting included
• Direct replacement for the front right lower suspension position
• Part number 524-832 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This suspension control arm is built for 2009-2012 Mercedes-Benz SL550, 2009-2012 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz SL600, and 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG applications with Active Body Control (ABC). It is designed around the original equipment shape and mounting layout, using steel construction, a coated finish, and an integrated rubber bushing to restore proper suspension geometry at the front right lower corner. If you are replacing a worn Mercedes-Benz SL550 front right lower control arm or sourcing a Dorman 524-832 replacement for an ABC-equipped SL-Class, this part matches the listed application details.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Excessive front-end looseness or wandering caused by a worn control arm
• Clunking or knocking from the front right lower suspension area
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry changes
• Steering instability from deteriorated bushings
• Suspension noise after the original arm has worn or corroded

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) before ordering. This control arm is for the front right lower position only and does not include a ball joint, mounting hardware, or a grease fitting. Because suspension components affect alignment, a professional alignment is recommended after installation. Confirm all mounting points, bushing dimensions, and stud interface details against the removed part before service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this control arm as a precision-engineered replacement part and subjects it to rigorous testing to support reliable OE-style fit and function on the listed Mercedes-Benz applications.
