Detailed Description

The GS861312 is a front left lower suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered for drivers who want to restore OE performance, handling, and ride quality without changing the factory suspension layout. Mevotech builds this Original Grade part as a direct replacement for the original component, with steel arm construction, rubber bushings, and a pre-greased ball joint to support consistent operation. The assembly is a strong fit for Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Venza service, as well as Lexus NX250, NX350, NX350h, and NX450h+ front suspension repair.

This part cross-references Toyota and Lexus OE-style numbers such as 480690R050 and 4806942070 for the same application. The Mevotech GS861312 part number is also referenced as SGS861312 in interchange listings.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Front-end clunking or knocking over bumps
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear from worn suspension geometry
• Excessive play from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
• Vibration or instability during braking and cornering

Installation Notes

Verify left-front lower fitment before installation and compare the original arm length, mounting points, and ball joint style to the removed part. Because the ball joint is pre-greased and the assembly includes the castle nut, cotter pin, and required mounting hardware where applicable, installation can be streamlined when replacing a worn factory arm. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension replacement.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built to match the original manufacturer’s fit and function for everyday commuting and routine driving. The GS861312 is designed as a direct OE-style replacement for consistent suspension performance on supported Toyota and Lexus models.
