Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMK80388
Replace a worn front upper arm and its ball joint in one step with the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMS701148, a control arm with ball joint built for the front left upper forward position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2021-2023 Audi RS5, 2017-2025 Audi A4 Allroad and 2016-2025 Audi A4 Quattro, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with upgrades specific to each application for added durability and performance. This Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm links the steering knuckle to the chassis. Its integrated ball joint is the pivot that lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension.
If a worn ball joint or a damaged arm is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this assembly replaces both parts together. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause first. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and check the alignment after installation.
