Detailed Description

This suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the rear left upper suspension location. It is a strong fitment-focused solution for 2004-2013 Infiniti QX56, 2014-2024 Infiniti QX80, 2005-2015 Nissan Armada, 2017-2024 Nissan Armada, and 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada applications. Dorman 527-193 is built to support smooth ride quality, directional stability, and consistent suspension response after wear or damage to the original arm.

The assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, with a boxed steel arm finished in black. It is pre-greased from the factory and does not use a grease fitting, which simplifies service on the vehicle. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS301208 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Excessive play in the rear left upper control arm
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling
• Ball joint wear affecting alignment and ride control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear left upper position before installation and confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, and model. Because this assembly uses a press-in ball joint mounting type and pinch-style stud, proper suspension service tools and alignment procedures are recommended after installation. Check all mounting points and fasteners against OE specifications during reassembly.
