Dorman® 527-387 - Front Lower Control Arm

Control arms are the part of the suspension system, with the help of springs and shock absorbers, ensure that bumps and other road obstacles are absorbed rather than being passed on to the frame of the vehicle and its passengers. The control arm is designed to move up and down when the car encounters potholes, speed bumps, etc., while still maintaining a straight, perpendicular relation to the road. Hard usage and even a minor encounter with a curb or deep pothole can bend, crack, or otherwise damage a control arm, causing poor handling and inaccurate wheel alignment that can result in uneven tire wear.

If you need a solid control arm, Dorman offers you the product that is a direct replacement for the factory part but costs less. The Dorman control arm will look, function, and install exactly the same as the original. Rigorously tested for reliable and long-lasting performance by a team of experienced engineers, the product provides a smooth ride, directional stability, and agile handling. The control arm features a steel, aluminum, or iron construction for exceptional durability and is powder-coated or painted for maximum rust and corrosion resistance. The unit comes with ball joints and bushings where applicable.
