A control arm hinges the front wheel to the chassis so the suspension can travel over bumps, while the integrated ball joint pivots for steering. As the original arm's bushing or ball joint wears, you may notice clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or loose, wandering steering — if a worn front left upper forward control arm is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces it.
Where does this control arm mount?
It is the front left upper forward unit. The catalog specifies the front left upper forward position, so it fits that corner on the listed applications.
Is this an upper or lower control arm?
It is an upper control arm — a front left upper forward unit with an integrated ball joint. Confirm your corner against the Buyer's Guide before ordering.
Does this fit an Audi Q5 control arm application?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit for the 2012-2017 Audi Q5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment on your vehicle.
Will it fit my Audi A5 control arm setup?
It is listed for the 2008-2009 and 2012-2015 Audi A5, plus the 2008-2017 Audi A5 Quattro. Verify the exact year and model in the Buyer's Guide.
What are the signs this part may need replacing?
Clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear, and loose or wandering steering can indicate a worn control arm bushing or ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
