Detailed Description

The Mevotech GS801226 is engineered as a direct replacement for the original front right lower control arm assembly on Subaru Crosstrek and Subaru XV Crosstrek models. Its steel construction, rubber bushings, and integrated ball joint are specified to match the original suspension layout, helping restore handling feel and ride control after wear-related suspension service. Mevotech GS801226 also cross-references Delphi TC7983 and Dorman - OE Solutions 528-254 for the same application.

This part is a practical choice when servicing a worn lower control arm on a 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek or a 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek, especially when the original assembly shows looseness, noise, or degraded steering precision. The pre-greased design and included dust boot support a cleaner replacement process and help reduce prep time during installation.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play in the lower control arm or ball joint
• Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension geometry
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Ride quality changes caused by deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right lower position before installation and confirm vehicle year, make, and model against the listed fitment. Inspect adjacent suspension components, alignment angles, and fasteners during replacement, and perform a wheel alignment after installation to restore proper suspension geometry on Subaru Crosstrek and Subaru XV Crosstrek applications.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built as exact-match replacements for original manufacturer fit, form, and function. GS801226 is designed to restore OE performance, handling, and ride characteristics for regular commuter use.
