Detailed Description

The Mevotech GS101281 suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered for the front left lower rearward position on select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It is designed to restore OE performance, handling, and ride characteristics for regular commuters and routine drivers.

  • Steering wander caused by suspension play
  • Uneven tire wear related to worn front suspension components
  • Reduced ride control from a failing ball joint assembly
  • Restoration of factory suspension response on Mercedes-Benz S550, S450, S350, CL550, and S500 models
