Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during service. Because this assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, it is suited for replacing a worn lower control arm as a complete unit rather than servicing individual wear points. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this suspension control arm and ball joint assembly to help maintain smooth ride characteristics, directional stability, and predictable handling.
