Steady your steering and keep the front suspension planted with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS80170). This front left lower unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Mitsubishi models, including the 2018-2020 Eclipse Cross, 2008-2017 Lancer, 2007-2020 Outlander, 2018-2022 Outlander PHEV, 2011-2024 Outlander Sport and 2011-2024 RVR — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades built for commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, while Labor Saver designs and hardware help speed the job.
As the lower arm of the front suspension, it locates the wheel and, through its integrated ball joint, lets the steering knuckle pivot as the suspension travels. Signs this Mevotech Supreme lower control arm may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — if a failed arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both in one part.
What is a control arm and ball joint assembly?
It combines the front lower control arm with a pressed-in ball joint. The arm locates the wheel while the ball joint lets the steering knuckle pivot as the suspension moves, so CMS80170 replaces both in a single part.
Which vehicles does CMS80170 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for listed Mitsubishi models, including the Eclipse Cross, Lancer, Outlander, Outlander PHEV, Outlander Sport and RVR. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the exact years and engines for your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear part, and which side?
This assembly is the front left lower control arm with ball joint. Confirm the position matches what your vehicle needs before ordering.
Does it include a grease fitting?
Yes. It comes with a 180-degree SAE grease fitting, making the ball joint simple to service after installation.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Replacing the matching arm on the opposite side at the same time is a common best practice for balanced handling, though it is not required. This listing is for one front left lower assembly.
