Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS301002
Keep your front suspension tight and your steering true with the Mevotech Supreme Nissan Altima control arm (CMS30100). This front left lower control arm with an integrated ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima, combining the arm, bushings and ball joint into one ready-to-install unit.
The lower control arm Nissan Altima owners rely on locates the front wheel and lets the suspension travel, while the pressed-in ball joint allows the steering knuckle to pivot as you turn and the wheel moves over the road. Worn control-arm bushings or a loose ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or wandering steering; if a failed arm or ball joint is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme control arm replaces both in one part. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.
