Detailed Product Overview

This suspension control arm assembly is engineered for the front right lower suspension position on the Fiat 500. It replaces the original equipment part on 2018-2019 Fiat 500 models, plus 2013-2017 Fiat 500 models with cast iron arms, and 2012 Fiat 500 models with cast iron arms and the specified ball-joint-to-bushing length. The Dorman 526-612 is also cross-referenced to MOOG Chassis Products RK622860 for the same application.

Built from steel with a stamped arm design, this assembly includes the ball joint and bushings already installed to simplify replacement of a worn control arm. The pre-greased, non-greaseable construction and rubber bushing material support consistent suspension movement while helping restore proper steering feel and alignment control on Fiat 500 front suspension repairs.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play from a worn ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Pulling or unstable steering response
• Cracked or deteriorated control arm bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle has the correct cast iron arm configuration before ordering. This part is for the front right lower position only and is not adjustable. Because the ball joint is already installed, replacement focuses on removing the worn assembly and transferring the vehicle to the new control arm during a proper suspension service.

After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to confirm suspension geometry and steering wheel position. Check adjacent components such as tie rods, struts, and mounting points for wear before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Dorman subjects this control arm and ball joint assembly to an industry-focused evaluation process to help deliver smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable suspension dynamics. The part is built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed Fiat 500 applications.
