Dorman 524-502 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Right Lower
Dorman 524-502 Front Right Lower Control Arm
Dorman 524-502 is a direct replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for specific Subaru and Saab applications. It is built for the front right lower position and is engineered to restore smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable steering response.
Key Features
- Direct replacement for the original equipment control arm and ball joint assembly
- Fits 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza, front right lower
- Fits 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, front right lower
- Steel control arm with black finish
- Ball joint is installed and pre-greased
- Bushings included with rubber and steel construction
- Ball joint uses a bolt-in, machined mounting design with threaded stud
- Mounting hardware included
Detailed Description
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is built for OE-style replacement on the front right lower suspension of the Subaru Impreza and Saab 9-2X. The casting/forged steel arm is paired with an installed ball joint and included bushings to help maintain suspension geometry and steering feel. Part number 524-502 is a practical replacement choice when servicing worn front suspension components on 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X models.
The assembly is pre-greased, non-adjustable, and non-greaseable, with a threaded ball joint stud and bolt-in mounting style. Dorman’s evaluation process is used to verify fit, function, and ride characteristics for the intended application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn control arm or ball joint
- Loose or inconsistent steering response
- Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
- Directional instability during braking or cornering
- Excess movement from deteriorated bushings
Installation Notes
Install on the front right lower position only. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and suspension configuration before ordering. Because the ball joint is already installed, this assembly simplifies replacement of the control arm and ball joint together. Always inspect related suspension components, alignment settings, and fasteners during service.
Quality Assurance
Dorman designs this replacement assembly to match the original equipment application for the listed Subaru Impreza and Saab 9-2X vehicles. Part number 524-502 is evaluated for fit and suspension performance to support stable handling and consistent ride characteristics.
