Detailed Description

Mevotech GS501281 is a suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered to match original manufacturer fit, form, and function. It is designed for the front left lower forward position on 2013-2019 Cadillac ATS, 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro, and 2022-2024 Cadillac CT5. The aluminum arm helps maintain OE-style suspension behavior, while the pre-greased ball joint, rubber bushings, and dust boot support smooth articulation and consistent road feel. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 526-243 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn control arm assembly
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Steering wander or reduced straight-line stability
• Ride quality loss from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
• Noise during braking, turning, or suspension travel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left lower forward position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because this assembly uses a press-in ball joint and includes mounting hardware where required, proper suspension service tools and a post-installation wheel alignment are recommended after installation on Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Camaro, or Cadillac CT5 applications.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built as OE-style replacements for fit, form, and function, with hardware included where required to simplify service. GS501281 is engineered to restore original suspension performance for daily-driven vehicles.
