Detailed Description

This suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered for the front right lower position on 1992-1995 Honda Civic, 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1994-2001 Acura Integra models. Dorman 526-984 follows the original equipment layout for the listed applications, helping maintain suspension geometry and consistent road feel. The assembly uses a steel, casting/forged control arm construction and arrives pre-greased for service readiness. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or wandering caused by a worn lower control arm
• Clunking or knocking from suspension wear at the front right lower corner
• Uneven steering response from degraded suspension geometry
• Excessive play related to aging bushings or ball joint mounting wear
• Ride instability on Acura Integra, Honda Civic, and Honda Civic del Sol models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front right lower position before installation. The assembly includes mounting hardware, and the ball joint is not installed as a separate serviceable component. Because this is a press-in style ball joint mounting design, proper suspension service tools and alignment procedures should be used after replacement. Confirm fitment for 1992-1995 Honda Civic, 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1994-2001 Acura Integra before ordering Dorman 526-984.
