Reach for the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMK80342 when the front right upper suspension on your 2003-2006 Kia Sorento has gone loose or noisy. This control arm and ball joint assembly locates the wheel through its travel and, with its integrated ball joint, provides the steering and suspension pivot that ties the knuckle to the frame — installing as a direct-fit replacement for the listed 2003-2006 Kia Sorento applications.
Worn control-arm bushings or a failing ball joint can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front right upper arm or its ball joint is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces both in one unit. This listing covers the front right upper position; for balanced handling, inspect the opposite side and replace it as needed.
