Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS301010
Shopping for a Nissan Altima control arm? This Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS30101) is a direct-fit front right lower replacement for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima. It locates the wheel and provides the pivot for suspension travel and steering through its integrated ball joint, which rides on a rubber dust boot. Built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, this Mevotech Supreme control arm pairs application-specific engineering with a Labor Saver™ design for a faster install.
Because the ball joint is integrated into this lower control arm, a worn joint or cracked bushing means the arm is serviced as one unit. Common signs the original may need replacing include clunking over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or wandering steering; if a failed front lower control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and application for your vehicle.
Does this control arm fit my Nissan Altima?
It's engineered for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima in the front right lower position. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct engine and application before ordering.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes. It comes with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin needed to secure the ball joint to the vehicle.
Do I need to press in a separate ball joint?
No. The ball joint is integrated into this lower control arm, so it installs as a single assembly and replaces both parts at once.
What are the signs a lower control arm Nissan Altima owners should replace?
Clunking over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or wandering steering can point to a worn control arm or ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
This listing is for one front right lower arm. Replacing the matching side at the same time is a good practice for balanced, predictable handling.
