Locate the front wheel and manage suspension geometry with the Mevotech Supreme control arm, part number CMS801225. This front left lower control arm and ball joint assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, combining the arm, bushings, and a pre-assembled ball joint in a single unit.
As a Subaru Crosstrek lower control arm, it positions the wheel and lets the ball joint pivot as the suspension travels and steers. If a worn arm bushing or a loose ball joint is behind clunking, uneven tire wear, or wandering steering, this assembly replaces both in a single part. This is the front left (driver-side) lower unit; the opposite side uses a different part number.

Will this control arm fit my Subaru Crosstrek?
Yes, it's a direct-fit front left lower assembly for the 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What position does part CMS801225 cover?
It's the front left (driver-side) lower control arm. The opposite side uses a different part number, so order that separately if you're replacing both sides.
Is the ball joint included with this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm?
Yes. The ball joint is pre-assembled into the arm, so you replace the control arm and ball joint together as one unit—no separate press-in ball joint is needed.
Is mounting hardware included?
A part-specific castle nut and cotter pin are provided to secure the ball joint. Consult the vehicle service information for any other fasteners and whether they may be reused.
What are the signs of a worn control arm?
Clunking over the front suspension, uneven tire wear, wandering steering, or play in the ball joint may indicate a worn arm bushing or ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
