Detailed Description

Dorman 528-027 is a front left lower suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered as a direct replacement for the original equipment part on 2014-2019 Kia Soul and 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV models. The assembly uses a boxed steel control arm, pre-installed ball joint, and included bushings to support consistent suspension geometry and steering feel. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS901241 and MOOG Chassis Products RK623345 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn front left lower control arm on a Kia Soul or Kia Soul EV, 528-027 provides an OE-style service solution built around the original mounting layout.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front left lower suspension
• Loose or unstable steering response
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension joints
• Excessive play from deteriorated control arm bushings
• Ride quality issues related to a worn ball joint assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2014-2019 Kia Soul, front left lower. Fits 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV, front left lower. Verify mounting hole diameter, ball joint stud style, and suspension orientation before installation. Because the ball joint is installed and the assembly is pre-greased, this part is ready for suspension replacement service, but alignment is recommended after installation to confirm proper handling and tire wear. Part number 528-027 should be matched to the vehicle application before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this suspension assembly to help support OE-like ride control and predictable dynamics. The design is intended to match the original equipment configuration for the listed Kia Soul and Kia Soul EV applications, with attention to fit, function, and suspension performance.
