Dorman 524-834 Front Right Lower Control Arm
Dorman 524-834 is a direct replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for specific Mercedes-Benz applications. It is built to restore OE-style steering response, directional stability, and smooth suspension movement on the front right lower forward position.

- Pre-greased for ready-to-install service
- Aluminum control arm construction with black finish
- Ball joint is included and installed
- Rubber bushings included
- Machined ball joint mounting type with threaded stud design

OE-Style Suspension Replacement
This suspension control arm assembly is engineered for the front right lower forward position on 2012-2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS350, CLS500, and CLS550, plus 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS400. Dorman 524-834 follows the original equipment layout to help maintain predictable suspension geometry and consistent road feel. It cross-references Delphi TC3917 for the same application.
What It Helps Correct
- Front-end looseness or wandering caused by worn control arm components
- Clunking or knocking from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
- Uneven steering response from suspension play
- Directional instability during braking or lane changes
- Excess movement at the front right lower forward suspension point
Installation Notes
Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and front right lower forward position before installation. This assembly includes the ball joint and bushings already installed, which helps streamline replacement of the worn OE unit. Because suspension geometry affects alignment, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
Quality Assurance
Dorman uses an evaluation process for this control arm and ball joint assembly to help support smooth ride quality and predictable handling characteristics. The aluminum construction, pre-greased design, and OE-style replacement format are selected to match the needs of the listed Mercedes-Benz CLS applications.
