Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is built for OE-style replacement on the Volkswagen Jetta front right lower suspension. The steel stamped arm, rubber bushings, and installed ball joint are selected to support smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable suspension movement. Dorman 526-408 is a practical replacement when the original arm shows wear at the bushings or ball joint, or when steering feel and alignment consistency have declined. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK621950 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension wear
• Ball joint play in the front right lower suspension
• Restoring factory-style suspension geometry on a Volkswagen Jetta

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front right lower position before installation. Because the ball joint is installed and the assembly is pre-greased, the part is ready for suspension service once mounted. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to confirm proper suspension angles and steering response. Part number 526-408 should be matched to the vehicle application listed for 2011-2018 Volkswagen Jetta.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-leading evaluation process for this replacement assembly to help ensure consistent fit and suspension performance. The design focuses on restoring OE-style ride control and predictable dynamics for the specified Volkswagen Jetta applications.
