Help your front suspension hold the wheel in position with the Mevotech Supreme CMS20456, a front left lower control arm with ball joint built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima and 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Every Mevotech Supreme control arm is engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for durability and performance. The line is built for high-usage passenger and commercial vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It also includes Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware aimed at faster, easier installations.
- Stronger build: a forged aluminum control arm with a thicker cross section and a filled-in hole/recess for added durability.
- Patented BiMetallic technology: engineered for high heat and high load in tight spaces. Mevotech describes it as the only greaseable sintered bearing solution for unitized aluminum control arms, using patented sintered bearings for added toughness.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere, plus additional surface treatment that helps prevent rust build-up.
- Simple to service and fit: a 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included and a part-specific hex nut is provided. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.
Signs a control arm and ball joint assembly may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts. This unit is cataloged for the front left lower position.
