Take the slop out of your front end with the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMS80182, a front left lower control arm with an integrated ball joint that locates the wheel, sets the suspension geometry, and lets the wheel pivot as you steer. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy, and 2005-2009 Subaru Outback.
Part of the Mevotech Supreme line, engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks:
This Subaru Outback lower control arm and ball joint assembly integrates the ball joint into the arm, so a worn joint and worn bushings are renewed in one unit. Signs it may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing. This listing covers the front left lower position; order the front right separately to renew both sides.
Is this Subaru Outback control arm a direct fit?
Yes — it's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Subaru Outback, plus the 2005-2009 Legacy and 2008-2011 Impreza. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine and trim.
What position does this Subaru Impreza control arm cover?
It's the front left (driver's side) lower control arm with ball joint. This listing is for one arm; order the front right separately if you're replacing both sides.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. It installs with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided to secure the ball joint to the vehicle.
What is this Subaru Legacy control arm made of?
It features forged aluminum construction with sintered bearings and solid-cross-section bushings for added stiffness and durability.
Should I replace both control arms at the same time?
Replacing left and right as a matched pair is good practice for balanced handling, but each is sold individually — this listing is for the front left lower arm.
