Dorman 524-344 Suspension Control Arm And Ball Joint Assembly

Dorman 524-344 Suspension Control Arm And Ball Joint Assembly

Features:

Cost-effective – replacing the factory-style control arms can increase uptime and decrease maintenance costs for fleet vehicles; for optimal performance, replacing both control arms is recommended
Position-specific – this control arm is engineered exclusively to replace a failed front right lower forward arm on specified RWD Chrysler and Dodge vehicles with high-performance suspensions
Simple installation – professional technicians and experienced DIYers can install this assembly without any special tools, with no shop press needed

When the original equipment front right lower forward control arm and ball joint assembly fails on certain RWD Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, Challenger and Magnum vehicles, the bushings are often the reason. The factory bushings are undersized for certain applications and made from rubber that prematurely weakens and breaks down. Replacing that failed assembly with another OE or aftermarket product that lacks a more durable bushing can lead to similar future failures and potential driveabilty issues. The costs of those repetitive repairs and chronic downtime can add up in a hurry, particularly for vehicles used by car service, limousine and law enforcement fleets. This Dorman OE FIX control arm and ball joint assembly features an oversized, heavy-duty two-piece bushing that distributes the suspension load over a greater area and is manufactured from denser, more durable rubber, eliminating the primary reason for control arm failure. This upgraded assembly has been engineered and tested to help ensure a seamless, predictable installation on specified vehicles. For optimal performance and service life, both assemblies should be replaced.
