Dorman 531-385 Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Front Lower or Rear Lower
Dorman 531-385 Front Lower Control Arm Bushing
Dorman 531-385 is a rubber suspension control arm bushing for specific Chevrolet front lower applications. It is precision-engineered and tested as a direct replacement for the original equipment bushing on classic Chevrolet models, including Corvette, Bel Air, and Impala.
Key Features
- Rubber construction for suspension isolation and control
- Black finish with regular-grade construction
- Front lower mounting position
- Designed with 12.2 mm inner diameter and 39.3 mm outer diameter dimensions for the bushing elements
- Fits specific Chevrolet Corvette, Bel Air, and Impala applications
- Dorman part number 531-385 for easy identification
Detailed Description
This suspension control arm bushing is built for vehicles that need a precise OE-style replacement at the front lower control arm location. The rubber material helps restore the original suspension interface, supporting proper arm movement while maintaining the fit and geometry expected on 1955-1964 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1959-1964 Chevrolet Impala, and 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette front lower applications. If you are sourcing a Dorman 531-385 replacement for a classic Chevrolet suspension rebuild, this part provides the dimensions and mounting style needed for a direct service repair.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Excessive play in the front lower control arm
- Clunking or knocking from worn suspension bushings
- Uneven steering response caused by deteriorated rubber
- Suspension looseness during braking or cornering
- Restoration work on original Chevrolet front suspension components
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the front lower application, bushing dimensions, and vehicle year before installation. Because this part does not include mounting hardware or a bracket, reuse or source the required related components separately as needed. Press-fit suspension bushings should be installed with the correct tools to avoid damaging the rubber or control arm.
Quality Assurance
Dorman tests this replacement bushing for fit and function against the original equipment application. Part number 531-385 is intended for specific Chevrolet suspension service where accurate dimensions and OE-style replacement matter.
