Detailed Description

Dorman 533-896 is made for Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger models that use a front lower arm at the strut fork. The bushing uses a rubber isolator with steel construction to replace worn OE suspension hardware and restore the control arm pivot point. Its dimensions and material selection support a direct-fit replacement approach for the listed vehicles, including 2012-2023 Chrysler 300, 2017-2023 Dodge Challenger, and 2012-2023 Dodge Charger.

The design includes bushings and a dust boot, with no grease fitting, no greaseable service feature, and no mounting hardware, sleeve, bracket, or snap rings listed. Dorman 533-896 is a practical choice when servicing front suspension wear on these Chrysler and Dodge platforms, especially when the original bushing has loosened, cracked, or lost its isolating properties.

What It Helps Fix

• Front suspension clunking or knocking from a worn control arm bushing
• Excessive play at the front lower arm strut fork connection
• Vibration or harshness transferred through deteriorated rubber
• Uneven steering feel caused by bushing wear
• Suspension noise during braking, turning, or road impacts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front lower arm at strut fork position before installation. Inspect the control arm, strut fork, and mounting surfaces for wear or damage, since a new bushing will not correct bent or cracked suspension components. Press-fit suspension service typically requires proper tools and alignment checks after installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this bushing as a tested replacement part for the original equipment application on the listed vehicles. The part is built to standard replacement specifications for consistent fit and function in the front suspension.
