Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS80105
Locate the front wheel and keep the steering knuckle pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMS801212, a direct-fit front left lower unit for the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester. It arrives as a preassembled control arm and ball joint assembly, so the arm, integrated ball joint, and bushings install together in one step.
Stronger build: a stamped steel arm in an increased gauge for added durability.
Superior toughness: sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
Quick, easy installation: ships with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin.
Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps limit rust build-up.
Engineered in-house for high-usage passenger, commercial, and fleet vehicles, this Mevotech Supreme lower control arm connects the front suspension to the chassis and lets the wheel travel and steer, while Labor Saver hardware speeds the install. If a worn ball joint or cracked bushing is behind clunking, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, replacing this assembly addresses it.
