Product Details

The Dorman 520-993 is a front upper forward suspension control arm and ball joint assembly designed as a direct OE replacement for select Audi and Volkswagen models. This assembly replaces OE part number 4E0 407 505B and is positioned at the front, driver side, upper, forward location of the suspension system.

Dorman engineers this control arm by first analyzing what went wrong in the original manufacturer's design, then making targeted improvements to reduce the likelihood of the same failure occurring again. The result is a rigorously tested component built to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability, and predictable handling dynamics.

Key Features:

  • Complete assembly — includes pre-installed ball joint and bushings for a straightforward, time-saving installation
  • Direct OE replacement — engineered to match the fit, form, and function of the original equipment
  • Rigorous quality testing — evaluated to ensure sustained, secure performance and passenger safety
  • Lifetime limited warranty — backed by Dorman's industry-leading warranty coverage
  • Sold individually — one control arm assembly per purchase

Replaces OE Number: 4E0 407 505B

This control arm assembly is the correct solution for restoring proper suspension geometry, steering feel, and ride quality when the original component has worn or failed.
