Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS501277
Keep your front wheel properly located and your steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMK9890). This front upper unit installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage, combining the control arm, its bushings, and an integrated ball joint in one pre-assembled part. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at higher durability, and this Kia Sportage control arm is built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks.
As a front upper Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm, it positions the upper end of the wheel and lets the ball joint pivot as the suspension travels and the wheels steer. If worn control arm bushings or a failing ball joint are behind clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or loose steering, replacing this assembly addresses those worn components. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
