Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. The Supreme line's Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installations quicker and easier.
- Faster installation: The ball joint comes pre-assembled on the arm. You secure the ball joint to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin that are provided.
- Increased stiffness: The bushings are upgraded with a solid cross section and added knurling for more stiffness and durability, which is designed to help improve handling.
- Optimal performance: Stamped steel construction built to match or surpass OE specifications.
- Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It pivots on its bushings so the wheel can travel with the suspension, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn as you steer. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, torn bushings or play in the ball joint. This listing covers the front left lower position, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
