What is included with this control arm assembly?

This Moog control arm assembly includes the upper control arm, the ball joint, and the necessary bushings. It's designed as a complete unit for straightforward replacement.

Why is an alignment needed after installing a control arm?

Control arms are critical components for your vehicle's suspension geometry. Replacing one can affect alignment angles, so a professional alignment is recommended to ensure proper steering, tire wear, and handling.

How does the coating on the control arm help?

The e-coating on the control arms and the coating on the ball studs are applied to inhibit rust and corrosion. This helps prevent premature deterioration from road salt, moisture, and other environmental factors, extending the part's service life.

Product Details

If you're working on the front suspension of your 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota or 1998-1999 Dodge Durango, this Moog front left upper control arm assembly is a solid option. It combines the control arm, ball joint, and bushings into one unit, making replacement straightforward. This part is built to handle the stresses of daily driving, helping to restore proper steering feel and alignment.

Moog has put some thought into making this part last. The control arms themselves are e-coated to resist rust and corrosion, while the ball studs are coated too, which helps them handle wear and tear over time. The bushings are engineered for quiet operation and are made to stand up to road grime and oils. Plus, the heat-treated construction means it's built strong enough to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent premature failure.

Because this is an assembly, it includes the ball joint and bushings, which are often replaced at the same time as the control arm. This makes installation simpler, as you're not trying to press in a new ball joint or press out an old one separately. Just make sure to get a front-end alignment after installation to ensure everything is tracking correctly.
