Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS80105
Tighten up worn front suspension and restore precise steering with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS76101). This front right lower unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5, combining the stamped steel arm, bushings, and an integrated ball joint into one serviceable assembly.
The ball joint uses a thicker, stronger flange designed to prevent deformation during installation, and a protective surface treatment helps resist rust and corrosion. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. If a worn front right lower control arm or ball joint on your Mazda Protege is causing clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces it.
