Detailed Product Description

The Mevotech CMS10174 control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered with stamped steel construction, providing strength and rigidity required for suspension components. The control arm measures up to 15.2 inches in length and 14.8 inches in width, designed to fit precisely within the suspension system of Saab 9-3 and 9-3X vehicles. The assembly features natural rubber bushings that help absorb road vibrations and reduce noise, while the grooved ball joint stud ensures a secure connection to the steering knuckle. The unitized ball joint mounting type enhances durability by integrating the ball joint directly into the control arm, reducing potential points of failure. A corrosion-resistant black finish protects the assembly from rust and environmental damage, extending the service life of the part.
