Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered for OE-style replacement on the Audi Q3 and Audi Q3 Quattro front right lower position. The casting/forged aluminum arm is paired with an installed ball joint and included bushings to support consistent suspension movement and steering response. Dorman 526-844 is evaluated to help maintain ride comfort, directional stability, and predictable suspension dynamics in everyday driving.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS701142 for the same application. Dorman 526-844 is a practical replacement choice when servicing worn front suspension components on Audi Q3 and Audi Q3 Quattro models.

What It Helps Address

  • Clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm assembly
  • Uneven steering feel caused by ball joint wear
  • Front-end instability during braking or cornering
  • Suspension noise from deteriorated bushings
  • Restoring proper front right lower suspension geometry

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and front right lower position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension parts, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because the ball joint is installed and the assembly is pre-greased, installation focuses on proper mounting and torque procedures rather than separate ball joint service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman backs this control arm assembly with an industry-focused evaluation process to support OE-style fit and function. The design is intended to deliver consistent suspension performance for compatible Audi Q3 and Audi Q3 Quattro applications.
