Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered for the front left lower position on Saab 9-5 models from 2002 through 2009. The stamped steel arm, integrated ball joint, and included bushings are selected to match the original suspension layout and help maintain consistent alignment behavior. Dorman part number 528-195 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers addressing wear in the front suspension of a Saab 9-5.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6842 and Delphi TC3266 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Uneven tire wear related to front suspension wear
• Excess play from a worn ball joint or bushings
• Front-end noise over bumps or during turning

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and front left lower position before installation. Because the ball joint is bolt-in and the stud uses a pinch-style connection, confirm the vehicle’s original attachment style matches this assembly. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Dorman evaluates this control arm and ball joint assembly through an application-focused validation process to support proper ride quality and predictable handling characteristics. Part number 528-195 is built as a standard replacement component for the listed Saab 9-5 applications.
