Detailed Description

This Moog suspension control arm, part number RK642256, is engineered for the front left lower suspension position on 2010-2013 Kia Forte, 2010-2013 Kia Forte Koup, and 2012-2013 Kia Forte5. The stamped steel arm is designed to provide the structural support needed at the wheel end while the included rubber bushings help maintain proper suspension movement and ride control. Moog premium control arms for foreign and domestic nameplates are built with attention to strength and corrosion protection, making this a practical OE-style replacement for worn lower control arm assemblies. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 522-983 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front-end clunking or looseness from worn suspension bushings
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry issues
• Steering pull caused by a damaged lower control arm
• Excessive play in the front left lower suspension on Kia Forte models
• Restoring stable handling after control arm wear or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left lower position before installation and compare the original arm length and bushing layout to RK642256. Because the ball joint is not included, confirm whether your vehicle requires a separate ball joint service during repair. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore suspension geometry on the Kia Forte, Forte Koup, or Forte5.

Quality Assurance

Moog manufactures premium control arms with structural strength and corrosion protection in mind. RK642256 is built as a replacement suspension component for the listed Kia applications and is intended to meet the demands of everyday road use.
