Product Details

The Dorman 521-296 is a front passenger side upper suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered as a direct-fit replacement for select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Designed to restore proper steering geometry, wheel alignment, and suspension performance, this assembly replaces a critical component that connects the wheel hub to the vehicle's chassis.

Key Features:

  • Direct OE Replacement: Designed as a bolt-on replacement for the original equipment upper control arm assembly on compatible Mercedes-Benz models
  • Pre-Installed Ball Joint: Comes with the ball joint already installed, reducing labor time and complexity during installation
  • Rigorous Quality Testing: Each unit is evaluated by a team of product and quality engineers to ensure sustained, secure performance and passenger safety
  • Smooth Ride Performance: Engineered to deliver directional stability, agile handling, and predictable suspension dynamics
  • Improved Over OE Design: Dorman engineers analyze original equipment failure points and incorporate design improvements to reduce the likelihood of repeat failures
  • Passenger Side (Right) Fitment: Designed specifically for the front right upper suspension position

Dorman's suspension control arms are built for repair professionals and vehicle owners who demand a reliable, long-lasting fix. With over 100 years of aftermarket experience, Dorman delivers parts engineered to save time, reduce costs, and restore vehicle safety and performance.

Did an extensive search on line to find the best price available, and autoplicity was definitely the best. Now I no longer need to spend more time searching, I will go straight to autoplicity!

so far like wht i see n i will be buyin more iteams in the futrue

My second time ordering from Autoplicity. I price shop online and Autoplicity had the lowest price both times. Fast ship with email notifications. Autoplicity will now be my "First" site I go to for my auto accessories. Great job Autoplicity.

Very happy with the speed of shipping and with the reasonable price of the product.

Great prices for the parts I needed to replace on my SUV, a bit hard to reach customer service when I had a question about the order. When I finally did reach CS, question was answered without any issues, shipping costs seem a bit high.

Great prices and very quick shipping! Thanks
