Detailed Description
Dorman 526-212 is engineered as a direct-fit suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for the front right lower rearward location on select Audi vehicles. It uses a steel arm with casting/forged construction, a threaded 14 mm ball joint stud, and pre-installed bushings to match the original suspension layout. The assembly is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, which supports straightforward service and consistent operation.
This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623721 and Mevotech Supreme CMS701171 for the same application. It is a strong fitment-based search match for Audi A6 control arm replacement, Audi Q5 front right lower rearward suspension repair, and related Audi suspension control arm and ball joint assembly needs. Part number 526-212 is also listed for multiple Audi platforms including A6 allroad, A7 Sportback, Q5 Sportback, RS6 Avant, RS7 Sportback, S6, S7 Sportback, SQ5, and SQ5 Sportback.
Common Issues This Part May Address
- Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
- Excessive play in the control arm or ball joint
- Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
- Loose or imprecise steering feel
- Directional instability during braking or cornering
Installation Notes and Tips
Install 526-212 at the front right lower rearward position only on the listed Audi applications. Verify the mounting hole diameter, bushing dimensions, and ball joint thread size against the original part before installation. Because this assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, it is suited for replacing a worn control arm assembly rather than servicing individual wear points.
After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to confirm suspension geometry and steering wheel centering. For best results, inspect adjacent suspension components such as the opposite control arm, tie rods, and sway bar links while the vehicle is apart.
Quality Assurance
Dorman evaluates this suspension control arm and ball joint assembly through an industry-focused validation process to help maintain ride quality, directional stability, and predictable handling characteristics. The part is built as a standard replacement for OE-style service on the listed Audi fitments.
