Suspensia X31CJ2287 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Right Upper

Suspension Control Arm Assembly

This Suspensia suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is built for Mercedes-Benz applications that require a front right upper replacement. Part number X31CJ2287 combines an aluminum arm with a press-in ball joint, pre-greased construction, and a corrosion-resistant finish for service-focused suspension repair.

Key Features

• Aluminum control arm construction with a grey corrosion-resistant finish.
• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting included.
• Press-in ball joint with threaded stud type.
• Bushing included and mounting hardware included.
• Non-adjustable design with composite bearing type.

Detailed Description

Suspensia, part number X31CJ2287, is manufactured in Turkey in IATF 16949 certified facilities. The brand is owned by ISC Industries, a supplier to OE Tier 1 programs for Ford, Fiat/Chrysler, Volkswagen Group, and Renault/Nissan, which supports the engineering background behind this suspension component. This assembly is a direct-fit style replacement for Mercedes-Benz CL500, CL600, S320, S420, S500, S600, S350, 300SD, 300SE, 500SEC, 500SEL, 600SEC, 600SEL, and 400SE applications listed for the front right upper position.

The aluminum construction helps reduce unsprung weight compared with heavier steel designs, while the pre-greased ball joint and included bushing simplify service replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use X31CJ2287 when replacing a worn control arm on Mercedes-Benz S-Class and related coupe models from the early 1990s through the late 1990s.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring suspension geometry when the original control arm is worn or damaged.
• Addressing looseness, clunking, or play from a deteriorated ball joint.
• Replacing a cracked or fatigued arm bushing.
• Correcting steering feel and front-end stability issues caused by suspension wear.
• Servicing corrosion-affected suspension components.

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify fitment by year, model, and front right upper position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because the ball joint is pre-greased and no grease fitting is included, routine lubrication service is not required for the joint itself. Suspensia manufactures this part in IATF 16949 certified factories, supporting consistent production standards for Mercedes-Benz suspension repair.
