Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is built for Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y front suspension service where OE-style fit and function matter. The assembly uses a steel control arm with a casting/forged construction, black finish, and a pre-installed ball joint to simplify replacement of worn front right lower rearward suspension components. It is pre-greased and includes a grease fitting, bushings, and mounting hardware for a complete service solution. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., RK623779, RK624112) for the same application. The part number 527-522 is also referenced as a direct replacement for OE numbers used on select Tesla applications.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension wear
• Noisy or binding ball joint operation
• Restoring proper suspension geometry on Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y

Installation Notes and Tips

Install 527-522 at the front right lower rearward position only on the listed Tesla applications. Verify the mounting hole diameter, ball joint thread diameter, and stud length against the original part before installation. Because the ball joint is already installed and the assembly is pre-greased, service time can be reduced compared with rebuilding individual components. After installation, perform a wheel alignment to confirm suspension geometry and steering response.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this control arm and ball joint assembly to help deliver consistent ride quality, directional stability, and predictable dynamics. The 527-522 is a standard replacement part built for direct-fit service on the specified Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y applications.
