Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house and adds application-specific upgrades for greater durability and performance. The Supreme control arm line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, and its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation quicker and easier.
The lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the frame and pivots as the suspension travels, while the ball joint allows the knuckle to move and steer. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a ball joint with noticeable play. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and have the alignment checked after installation.
