Review on 🔧 Dorman 520-890 Front Right Lower Rearward Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly, Black - Fits Select Models by Michael Schwegman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for my Mazda 6s!

This is the Dorman Front Right Lower Rear Control Arm. I had to change mine on my 2006 Mazda 6s Sport Wagon and this one helped. I usually use Dorman for the quality and price, this is no exception. The hardest part of the job was getting those suckers out of the car. On a Mazda you will need to lower the subframe and remove the steering column to remove the bolt that secures it to the frame. It's a really tight fit! The bear also pushed out the ball joints. I did this with a 4 pound hammer on the other control arms and the kingpin bushing got stuck in the ball joint. I had to separate them and press in the bushing. This time I bought an original Mazda ball joint separator and they came out right away with no bushings attached. regularly, so I had to reuse the original, which is fine. Do not forget to align after installation, it is required.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Not Bad
