Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered for the front right lower suspension location on the Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES300h, Lexus ES350, and Lexus ES250. The stamped steel arm and integrated ball joint are built to match the original equipment configuration, helping maintain suspension geometry and consistent handling characteristics. Dorman part number 527-016 is a practical OE replacement choice when the original arm, bushings, or ball joint show wear.

The assembly is pre-greased, includes bushings, and comes with mounting hardware for a more complete repair. It is not adjustable and uses a 14 mm ball joint thread diameter with a 42 mm stud length. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623940 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn ball joint
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Directional instability during braking or lane changes
• Excess movement from deteriorated control arm bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right lower position before installation and confirm vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment list. Inspect adjacent suspension components, alignment angles, and fasteners during replacement. Because this assembly is pre-greased and includes the ball joint and bushings, it is suited to a direct suspension service rather than a rebuild of the original arm.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this control arm and ball joint assembly to support OE-style fit, ride quality, and predictable suspension dynamics. Part number 527-016 is built as a standard replacement component for the listed Toyota and Lexus applications.
