Detailed Description

Dorman 526-078 is engineered as a replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for the front right lower position on 2010-2014 Ford F-150 trucks. The steel arm uses a casting/forged construction and arrives with the ball joint installed, pre-greased, and paired with rubber and steel bushings to restore suspension geometry and joint movement. This part number, 526-078, is intended for drivers replacing a worn lower control arm on Ford F-150 models where directional stability, ride quality, and predictable handling have started to decline.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623211 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play from worn ball joint or bushings
• Uneven steering feel or wandering at highway speed
• Suspension noise during braking or turning
• Loss of stable front-end alignment after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right lower position before installation and confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model. Because the ball joint is press-in and the stud is threaded, proper suspension service tools and alignment procedures are recommended after replacement. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and mounting points for wear before final assembly.
