Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm is built for rear upper suspension service on Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic applications. The boxed steel construction and straight tubular shape support OE-style geometry, while the powder-coated black finish helps protect the part in underbody conditions. Dorman 526-000 includes bushings and uses a threaded ball joint stud type, but it does not come with a ball joint or mounting hardware.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK642932 for the same application. It is a direct-fit style replacement for Ram 1500 rear upper suspension repair where the original arm is worn, bent, or corroded.

What It Helps Repair

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear suspension alignment after component wear
• Corrosion-related failure of the original upper control arm
• Handling changes caused by a damaged Ram 1500 rear upper arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and rear upper position before installation. This control arm uses a press-in end 2 design and does not include a ball joint, so inspect related suspension components before assembly. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace fasteners as required by the vehicle service procedure. After installation, a rear suspension alignment check is recommended.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this control arm as a standard replacement part and subjects it to precision engineering and testing for reliable OE-style service on specific Ram applications. The steel construction, powder-coated finish, and included bushings support consistent fit and function in rear upper suspension repair.
