How does this kit help with alignment and control arm replacement?

The cam bolts in this set restore the factory method of adjusting caster and camber at the control arm mounting points. That adjustability is necessary for accurate toe and camber settings after suspension disassembly or replacement.

• Provides the threaded eccentric cams required for caster/camber adjustment
• Replaces worn or corroded OE hardware that can restrict alignment range
• Enables shop‑level alignment procedures without custom modifications

Dorman manufactures these components to meet strict dimensional and material standards, with testing to confirm durability under typical road and load conditions. The parts are intended to perform like the original hardware while resisting common failure modes such as corrosion and wear.

• Precision‑matched dimensions for correct fitment and movement
• Durable materials and finishing to withstand suspension loads
• Quality control steps to reduce early failures and fitment issues

How do I install and verify proper fitment for this cam bolt kit?

Installation follows standard front suspension procedures: remove the control arm bolts, fit the cam bolts with correct orientation, torque to vehicle specifications, then have a professional alignment performed. Confirm the kit matches your vehicle before disassembly to avoid downtime.

• Follow factory torque specs and alignment angles after installation
• Inspect for proper eccentric rotation and free movement before tightening
• Professional alignment recommended after replacing front control arm hardware

Who is this for: The Dorman 13817 Front Control Arm Hardware Kit is intended for DIY mechanics, independent repair shops and fleet maintenance teams working on compatible Dodge Ram or Ram trucks. It’s suitable when original cam bolts are worn, damaged, corroded, or lost during control arm service and when restoring the vehicle’s factory alignment adjustability is required.
