Detailed Description

This Dorman control arm assembly is built for Toyota front suspension service where the original arm and ball joint need replacement as a complete unit. Part number 526-515 is listed for 2019-2025 Toyota Corolla front left lower, 2016-2022 Toyota Prius front left lower, 2019-2022 Toyota Prius AWD-e front left lower, and 2017-2022 Toyota Prius Prime front left lower applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or wandering during driving
• Clunking or knocking from the lower suspension area
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Steering pull or reduced directional stability
• Excess play from a worn control arm or ball joint assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Install in the front left lower position only on the listed Toyota Corolla, Prius, Prius AWD-e, and Prius Prime applications. Verify ball joint stud diameter, mounting hole size, and suspension layout before installation. Because the assembly is not adjustable and does not include bushings separately, replace the complete unit when wear is present. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work.

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this replacement assembly to help deliver consistent ride quality and stable handling characteristics. The steel construction, pre-greased ball joint, and OE-style fitment support a dependable repair for the specified Toyota applications.
