Product Details

OE Solutions™ Lateral Link by Dorman®. If you are searching for a quality control arm, this product is the way to go. Featuring a sturdy construction and quality tested for trouble-free performance, the control arm ensures a smooth ride, directional stability, and agile handling.

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.

Awesome Service
My car was hit on the left driver side passenger tire. I just started a new job and needed my car repaired as soon as possible. You guys were fast and informative and really saved the day for me.

Fairly Priced, Quality Product
Ordered these to replace my aging stock rear forward lateral links. With over 124k on the original suspension components I was getting the dreaded "ghost walk" issue in the rear suspension so I replaced the rear struts and forward lateral links (as well as respective front suspension components) and this solved my ghost walking issue. I looked at OEM and performance brands that were close to 2x the price.

Lateral Link
The link is the same one for both sides. It looks like the OE part. I replaced both link's at the same time. It seems like it's going to hold up well.

I have an 2006 Ford F350 diesel pick up and it is all rusty and rotted. The part is discontinued from ford. It says it will not work for my truck but i thought i would try because i could not get it any where else. It works

Control Arm Right after Delivery
This product appears to be of good quality and contruction and value. However Product description says steel control arm, the control arm is aluminum with a steel ball joint taper and steel rear bushing tang bolted to the aluminum. Minor casting surface defects are present and minor tool marks either from manufacturing or from shipping and handling that do not appear structural There are no inclusions in the milled areas
