Locate the front wheel and give the steering knuckle a solid pivot point with the Mevotech Supreme Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CMS25198 — a direct-fit front left lower control arm for the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, and a common search as a Ram 1500 lower control arm. The arm positions the wheel and allows suspension travel while the integrated ball joint lets the knuckle turn.
Engineered in-house, the Mevotech Supreme line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. This unit installs at the front left lower position on the Ram 1500. Because control arms mount as left/right pairs, consider replacing the opposite side for balanced handling. Signs the original may need attention include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front-tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing.
What vehicle does the CMS25198 control arm fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500. Confirm your vehicle on the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
Where does this control arm install?
At the front left lower position on the Ram 1500.
Is the ball joint greaseable?
Yes. It includes a 90-degree SAE grease fitting so you can relubricate the ball joint during routine service.
Does it come with mounting hardware for the ball joint?
Yes. A part-specific castle nut and cotter pin are provided to secure the ball joint to the vehicle.
Should I replace the lower control arm on both sides?
Control arms mount as left/right pairs, so replacing the opposite side at the same time is recommended for balanced handling. This listing is for one arm.
