OE-Style Suspension Replacement

This suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicle applications. The stamped steel arm, rubber and steel bushing construction, and pre-greased ball joint assembly support consistent suspension movement and stable steering response on Chrysler Cirrus, Chrysler Sebring, and Dodge Stratus models. Dorman 526-987 is a practical choice when servicing the front left upper suspension on 2003-2006 vehicles listed in the fitment data.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Excessive front-end looseness or wandering
  • Clunking or knocking from worn upper suspension components
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn control arm or ball joint wear
  • Reduced directional stability during braking or cornering
  • Suspension noise from deteriorated OE upper arm assembly

Installation Notes

Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front left upper position before installation. This assembly uses a bolt-in and press-in ball joint mounting design with a threaded stud, so the correct service procedure and tools are important for proper installation. Alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK620241 for the same application.
