Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 526-273 control arm and ball joint assembly is a casting/forged aluminum component designed to restore suspension geometry and handling characteristics on compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Its pre-greased ball joint with a threaded stud simplifies installation and reduces maintenance needs. The rubber bushings included help absorb road vibrations and reduce noise, contributing to a smoother ride. This assembly is engineered to meet standard suspension grade requirements, making it suitable for light suspension loads typically found in luxury sedans such as the Maybach S600 and S650, as well as AMG models like the S63L AMG and S65 AMG.

  • Mercedes-Benz S560, S560e, S560L

Common Suspension Issues Addressed

  • Worn or damaged control arm bushings causing poor handling

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation. The Dorman 526-273 assembly comes pre-greased and includes mounting hardware, but verify torque specifications for mounting bolts according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. Since the control arm is non-adjustable, alignment should be checked and corrected after installation. The machined ball joint mounting and threaded stud facilitate a straightforward replacement process on compatible Mercedes-Benz models.

Dorman suspension components are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The 526-273 control arm and ball joint assembly undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure durability and performance.
