Built for Stable Steering Response

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered for predictable suspension movement, directional stability, and a smooth ride on Nissan TITAN XD and Nissan NV van platforms. The stamped steel arm, steel bushings, and pre-greased ball joint support consistent front suspension operation where OE-style geometry and fit are required. Dorman 527-001 cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623875 and Beck/Arnley 102-8400 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn upper control arm assembly
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension play or alignment instability
• Steering wander or reduced directional control at the front end
• Ball joint wear in the front left upper suspension position
• Noise and vibration from deteriorated bushings or mounting points

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, model, and front left upper position before installation. This assembly uses a press-in ball joint mounting type and a threaded stud, so suspension service should follow the correct factory procedure and alignment checks after replacement. Dorman 527-001 is a standard replacement part for Nissan TITAN XD, NV1500, NV2500, and NV3500 front suspension service.
