Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered for the front left lower suspension position on the Scion iQ. The steel, stamped-arm construction and rubber bushings support stable suspension movement, while the installed ball joint helps maintain predictable steering and directional control. Dorman 526-079 is a practical OE replacement for drivers servicing a 2012-2015 Scion iQ front left lower control arm assembly.

This part cross-references Delphi TC3043 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front-end clunking or looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Ball joint play in the front left lower suspension
• Restoring OE-style suspension geometry on a Scion iQ

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment before installation. This assembly uses a press-in ball joint design with a threaded stud and does not include mounting hardware. Because the ball joint is already installed, replacement focuses on swapping the complete control arm assembly rather than servicing individual wear components. Professional alignment is recommended after installation on the 2012-2015 Scion iQ front left lower suspension.

Quality Assurance

Dorman subjects this control arm assembly to an industry-focused evaluation process to help deliver smooth ride quality, directional stability, and consistent suspension behavior. The part is built as a direct replacement for specific OE applications and is pre-greased for service readiness.
