Control Arm 54500-JD000
The control arm (also known as a wishbone) is a critical component that manages the vertical movement of your wheels. The OE number 54500-JD000 is specifically for the Front Right side. After years of use, the integral ball joint and rubber bushings wear out, causing knocking noises, vibration, and poor handling. Our replacement arm is manufactured to original equipment specifications, using high-strength materials and precision casting to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.

Installation and Usage Notes
Safety First: Always use proper jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Torque Specifications (Reference): Tighten the ball joint pinch bolt to 59-78 N·m and the control arm mounting bolts to 108-127 N·m. Always verify torque values with a factory service manual for your specific vehicle.
Critical Step: The main control arm bolts must be tightened only when the vehicle's full weight is on the suspension (at ride height).
Post-Installation: A professional wheel alignment is MANDATORY after replacement.

Packaging and Shipping Module
Product Packaging
Each control arm is carefully packaged to ensure its arrival intact:
Protective Packaging: The control arm is first wrapped in a moisture-proof bag to prevent corrosion during storage and transportation. This protects the metal surface from moisture and humidity.
Foam Lining: This foam acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the control arm from impacts and vibrations during transportation.
Sturdy Carton: The control arm is placed in a high-quality corrugated carton, with foam padding filling the gaps to ensure a tight fit and prevent movement within the packaging.
Carton Labeling: Each carton is labeled with the product's original manufacturer's number (545011KA0B or 54500-4EA0A), barcode, and basic product information for easy identification.
