Keep your Subaru's front suspension tight and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS80181). This front right lower unit locates the wheel and links the suspension to the steering knuckle through an integrated ball joint, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy, and 2005-2009 Subaru Outback. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.

  • Sintered bearings: built for longer-lasting performance under load.
  • Upgraded bushings: a solid cross-section adds stiffness and durability for improved handling.
  • Larger-sphere ball stud: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
  • Surface-treated ball joint: an additional surface treatment resists rust build-up for longer ball joint life.
  • Forged aluminum construction: built to OE specifications, and it ships with a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin for quick installation.

A worn control arm or ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed Subaru Outback lower control arm is the cause, this assembly replaces the arm and its ball joint in one part. This is the front right (passenger-side) lower position, so order the matching left-side unit if both sides need service. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit my Subaru Outback?

Yes — this Subaru Outback control arm is a direct-fit front right lower replacement for the 2005-2009 Subaru Outback, 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, and 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Is the ball joint included?

Yes. The ball joint is integrated into this assembly, and it ships with a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin to secure it to the vehicle.

Which position does the CMS80181 replace?

It is the front right (passenger-side) lower control arm. If your Subaru Impreza control arm is worn on both sides, order the matching left-side unit separately.

What are the signs of a worn control arm or ball joint?

Common signs include clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension diagnosed to confirm the control arm or ball joint is the cause before replacing.

Will this work as a Subaru Legacy control arm?

Yes — the CMS80181 fits the 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy plus the Impreza and Outback, and features sintered bearings, solid-cross-section bushings, a larger-sphere ball stud, and a rust-resistant surface treatment.
