Rebuild the front left corner of your suspension with the MOOG CHASSIS control arm RK620164. It is a front left lower control arm with ball joint that links the steering knuckle to the chassis and lets the wheel follow the road. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2004-2011 Chevrolet Aveo, 2006-2011 Chevrolet Aveo5 and 2009-2010 Pontiac G3, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
MOOG engineers its premium control arms for foreign and domestic nameplates for structural strength and corrosion protection. This control arm and ball joint assembly arrives as one unit, with the ball joint, dust boot seal and bushings already installed.
- Carbon fiber bearing: Induction-hardened studs add strength. A patent-pending carbon fiber-reinforced bearing is designed to reduce socket friction compared with typical non-reinforced bearings, for longer socket life.
- Greaseable socket and boot seal: The socket accepts new lubricant that flushes out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear. A pre-installed dust boot seal helps keep dirt and water out.
- Added corrosion protection: Specially engineered coatings on metal surfaces help inhibit premature deterioration from rain, snow, salt and road grime.
- Premium bushings: The bushings come pre-installed. Their stiffness is optimized and designed to inhibit noise.
All necessary hardware is included. Precision tolerances are intended to ease installation and steering alignment, and a laser-etched ID marks genuine MOOG quality. This arm is sold individually for the front left lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 2004-2011 Chevrolet Aveo control arm fit my car?
It is a front left lower arm listed for the 2004-2011 Chevrolet Aveo, 2006-2011 Chevrolet Aveo5 and 2009-2010 Pontiac G3, among other vehicles. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
What does a lower control arm with ball joint do?
The control arm connects the steering knuckle to the chassis so the wheel can move with the suspension. The ball joint is the pivot that allows both steering and suspension travel.
What comes in the box?
You get one front left lower control arm with the ball joint, dust boot seal and bushings pre-installed, along with the hardware needed for installation.
What are signs the control arm may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a torn ball joint boot. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
Can the ball joint be greased?
Yes. The socket is greaseable, so you can add fresh lubricant that flushes out contaminants and helps reduce corrosion and wear.
