Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS80105
Locate the front wheel and manage suspension travel with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMK80446), a front left lower unit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero and 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass. It combines the arm, bushings and a pre-assembled ball joint into one Labor Saver™ part, so you can swap a worn chevy Malibu control arm in a single step.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, Mevotech Supreme control arms are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. If a worn ball joint or failed bushing is behind front-end clunking, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this front left lower assembly replaces those parts in one piece.
