Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS601177
Restore precise rear-wheel location and quiet, controlled suspension movement with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CMS101168, a rear lower rearward suspension unit that mounts the arm and its integrated ball joint as one serviceable assembly. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Mercedes-Benz sedans and coupes, including the 2001-2006 CL55 AMG, 2001-2006 CL600, 2005-2006 CL65 AMG, 2006 S350, 2000-2006 S430, 2005-2006 S55 AMG, 2001-2006 S600, and 2006 S65 AMG. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The arm positions the wheel through its travel while the ball joint lets the knuckle pivot and articulate. Worn joints or bushings can show up as clunks on acceleration, deceleration, or over bumps, uneven tire wear, or loose, wandering handling — if the original assembly is the cause, this replaces it.
Install as a matched pair with the opposite side and have the alignment checked afterward.
