Product Overview

This Dorman suspension control arm, part number 526-885, is built for direct replacement in the rear left upper suspension location on compatible Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet SS, and Pontiac G8 models. The steel body, coated finish, and bracketed construction support a stable suspension connection, while the bolt-in ball joint mounting type matches the specified OE-style application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 92294159) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear suspension play from a worn upper control arm
• Clunking or knocking noises from the rear suspension area
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
• Loose or inconsistent rear-end handling
• Corrosion-related replacement needs on the original arm

Installation Notes

Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and rear left upper position before installation. This control arm does not include a ball joint, bushings, or mounting hardware, so inspect the related suspension components and transfer or replace them as needed during service. On 2011-2014 Chevrolet Caprice and 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 applications with stamped arms, replace in pairs per the fitment notes.
