Detailed Description

The Mevotech GK9050 control arm assembly is engineered as an Original Grade replacement for the front left upper position. It is designed to match the original manufacturer’s fit and function, helping maintain proper suspension alignment and predictable handling on Mercedes-Benz 300D, 300TD, and 300SD applications. The cast aluminium arm, natural rubber bushings, and pre-greased ball joint support a factory-style repair approach for worn front suspension components.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-3482 and Delphi TC384 for the same application. The GK9050 part number is also commonly referenced in OE-style interchange listings for this Mercedes-Benz front suspension position.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or wandering caused by worn control arm components
• Noises from deteriorated bushings in the upper suspension arm
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry issues
• Steering instability during braking or cornering
• Restoration needs after inspection reveals play in the front left upper assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Install GK9050 at the front left upper position only on the listed Mercedes-Benz applications. Verify bushing condition, mounting points, and alignment settings during service, since suspension work can affect camber and overall handling. Because the assembly is pre-greased and includes mounting hardware where required, it supports a more straightforward replacement process.
