Keep your front suspension located and steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (MPN CMS501266), a direct-fit front left lower unit for the 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu, 2017-2019 Buick LaCrosse, 2018-2020 Buick Regal Sportback and 2018-2020 Buick Regal TourX. The arm locates the wheel and pivots through suspension travel while the integrated ball joint lets the knuckle swivel for steering — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm is a 2017 chevy Malibu control arm option to consider when the original arm's bushings or ball joint wear out. Signs may include clunking over bumps or on acceleration, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this chevy Malibu control arm replaces the original with a fresh pivot and mounting point.
