Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 520-289 Front Left Lower Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Select Ford/Mercury Models (Black) by Russ Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent detail, reasonable prices - ATTENTION!

02 Ford Explorer - Eddie Bauer - 4.0L - 4x4 Be prepared for the lower strut mount to get stuck in the old control arm. It's not a bushing or rod, it's a metal spacer that contains a screw. I had to shoot LCA and Strut together. Vice. Use a dremel to cut the bottom post off the LCA. Then I put the LCA in the press and the bolt barely came out. I tried to heat it up until it started glowing, bfh that's it. Only the press worked.

Pros
  • Total Rebuild - Each assembly includes ball joints and bushings preinstalled, saving time and effort.
Cons
  • Compatibility
