Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
Hey guys,
I found this deal and thought I'd share with you fellas. DORMAN 520181 Complete Arm w/ Ball Joint Front Left Upper http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/c...trol+arm,10401 The right is $48 bucks, It looks like it ships from a different warehouse but for you US guys it would still work out well for you I imagine.

Re: Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
Glad to share Cooper.
I saved 160 bucks compared to the parts I was going to buy local (same brands) and that's on top of paying $60 for shipping.

Right on - it reminds me of the 15 dollar springs last year

Re: Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
Thanks I ordered a pair of upper arms and ball joints and bushings for the lower. I also took advantage of the 5% off.

Re: Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
I actually got mine yesterday! They look great! I do have a question though, what is the bracket beside the ball-joint used for?
The early trucks don't have it, Is it for a brake hose? Thanks, Rg

Re: Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
Nice you got them already...Mine won't be here for another 10 days.
If it's a rounded style bracket yes that's for the brake line.

Re: Dorman control arm -$8.01 - Rock Auto
I tend to stay away from anything DORMAN unless absolutely no one else makes the part, usually some tiny plastic bits, tell us how these turn out, also as much as I like RockAuto, I have had times where they list/advertise a AC Delco part and send some oversees replacement, think tie rod ends
