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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman subjects this control arm assembly to an industry-focused evaluation process to help deliver smooth ride quality, directional stability, and consistent suspension behavior.
