Dorman Rugged Duty Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly

The Dorman Rugged Duty (RD) Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly line gives hardworking vehicles a heavy-duty replacement for a worn or failed control arm and ball joint. The RD marking on the packaging stands for "rugged duty." These assemblies are engineered for severe-duty service, so they suit vehicles where downtime is a problem.

Key Features:

• Severe-duty design: Dorman RD chassis components are built for demanding service, with the goal of outperforming and outlasting typical aftermarket replacements when regularly maintained.
• Complete assembly: The control arm and ball joint come together as one unit, which can simplify replacement compared with installing the parts separately.
• Corrosion-resistant coating: A protective finish helps the parts hold up against rust and road exposure.
• Pre-greased joints: Where applicable, joints are pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed boots with molded-in standoffs. This helps keep lubrication in place and makes installation easier.
• Hardware included: Necessary installation hardware is included.
• Direct-fit replacement: Each assembly is designed to replace the original equipment part on its specific application.

Dorman puts these parts through a thorough evaluation process. The goal is a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable handling. Each part number in the line has its own position and specifications. Choose the one that matches your application.
