Detailed Product Overview

Mevotech CMS861072 is designed for Lexus LS460 and Lexus LS600h applications that require a front right upper rearward control arm assembly. The aluminum construction helps keep weight down while the integrated ball joint, bushings, and dust boot provide a complete service replacement for worn suspension components. Mevotech Supreme engineering emphasizes durability upgrades for passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks, and this part reflects that approach in a chassis-critical suspension location. This part number, CMS861072, is also referenced for the same application under OE-style cross-reference numbers used in the aftermarket.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn upper control arm assembly
• Excessive suspension play at the front right upper rearward position
• Uneven tire wear caused by loose or deteriorated ball joint components
• Steering wander or reduced alignment stability
• Cracked bushings or damaged dust boot at the control arm joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Install CMS861072 at the front right upper rearward position only on the listed Lexus LS460 and LS600h applications. Verify the threaded ball joint stud, castle nut, cotter pin, and mounting points before final torque. Because this assembly is non-adjustable, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after installation to confirm suspension geometry.
