Detailed Description

Mevotech Original Grade GS861044 is engineered as a direct replacement for the front left upper control arm on 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma applications.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 522-003 and Delphi TC6674 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play in the upper control arm or ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension joints
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Ride quality changes from deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front left upper position only. Because the ball joint is press-in, proper suspension service tools are recommended for removal and installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to verify suspension geometry and steering wheel centering. Confirm Tacoma year, position, and suspension configuration before ordering GS861044.
