Detailed Description

Mevotech GS501013 is an Original Grade rear upper control arm engineered for vehicles that need a precise OE-style suspension replacement. The steel construction and rubber bushings are selected to help restore factory ride characteristics, handling response, and rear suspension alignment on applications such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, and Buick Rainier. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Because this control arm is built for the rear upper position on models with auto level control, it is a strong match for drivers addressing worn suspension components on the Trailblazer, Envoy, Rainier, Bravada, and Saab 9-7x. The GS501013 part number is also referenced as an OE-style replacement under related interchange numbers.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking over bumps
• Loose or unstable handling from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
• Excess movement in the rear upper suspension link
• Ride quality changes after bushing or arm wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear upper position and auto level control application before ordering. Inspect adjacent suspension hardware, bushings, and alignment settings during replacement, and confirm the arm length and mounting points match the original component. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension service to help restore proper rear geometry.
