Part number GS801223 is a front right lower control arm assembly that arrives pre-greased and includes the ball joint, bushings, dust boot, and required mounting hardware where specified.

Detailed Description

GS801223 is engineered as a direct OE replacement for the front right lower position on select Hyundai and Kia compact vehicles. It is compatible with 2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra, 2018-2020 Hyundai Elantra GT, 2018-2023 Hyundai Kona, 2019-2024 Kia Forte, and 2020-2024 Kia Forte5. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 528-198 for the same application. The assembly is designed to restore original handling feel, suspension control, and ride consistency without requiring an adjustable setup.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn front suspension joint
• Uneven steering feel caused by degraded control arm bushings
• Front-end vibration related to suspension wear
• Reduced ride control from a fatigued lower control arm assembly
• Suspension noise from a damaged dust boot or ball joint area

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front right lower suspension position only. Verify vehicle year, make, and model before ordering, and compare the original arm length, width, and mounting style to confirm match. Because this assembly uses a bolt-in ball joint with a threaded stud, proper torque procedures and a professional alignment after installation are recommended.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built as OE-style replacements for everyday drivers who want factory-like fit and function. GS801223 is manufactured to match the original application requirements for the Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Kona, Kia Forte, and Kia Forte5 platforms.
