Firm up your RAV4's front end with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS86163) — a front left lower unit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2014 Toyota RAV4. It's part of Mevotech's Supreme line, engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs and fleets.
The lower control arm locates the front wheel and ties it to the chassis, while the integrated ball joint lets the suspension and steering pivot through their travel. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs the original bushings or ball joint are worn — if that's the cause, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces them. This RAV4 control arm covers the front left (driver's side) lower position; order the opposite side separately to refresh both sides together.
Will this fit my 2006-2014 Toyota RAV4?
Yes — it's a direct-fit front left lower control arm for the 2006-2014 Toyota RAV4. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your exact model.
Is the ball joint included?
Yes. An additional ball joint comes pre-assembled to the arm as a complete solution, and a part-specific slotted castle nut plus an easy-snap cotter pin are included for installation.
Which position is this Toyota RAV4 control arm for?
This is the front left (driver's side) lower control arm. Order the front right lower separately if you need that side too.
Is this a RAV4 lower control arm, and should I replace both sides?
Yes, it's the front lower unit. This listing covers one side; replacing the opposite side at the same time is good practice for even, balanced front suspension.
What are the signs my control arm needs replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can point to worn control arm bushings or a bad ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
