The Story
Front Left Upper Control Arm Assembly
Mevotech CMS101618 is a front left upper suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for select Mercedes-Benz SUVs and crossovers. It is built with application-specific upgrades for durability, corrosion resistance, and smoother service on high-usage passenger and commercial vehicles.
Key Features
- Pre-greased for immediate service
- Aluminum control arm construction with a silver finish
- Rubber bushings and rubber dust boot included
- Press-in ball joint with threaded stud
- Mounting hardware included
- Non-adjustable design for direct replacement use
Product Details
This Mevotech Supreme part is engineered in-house for demanding front suspension service. The CMS101618 combines the control arm and ball joint into one assembly, helping restore front-end geometry and steering response on vehicles that see regular road load. It is a direct OE-style replacement for the front left upper position on the Mercedes-Benz GLE350, GLE450, GLE53 AMG, GLE580, GLE63 AMG S, GLS450, GLS580, and Maybach GLS600 across the listed model years. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Repair Applications
- Clunking or looseness from worn upper control arm bushings
- Ball joint play that affects steering feel and alignment stability
- Uneven tire wear caused by front suspension wear
- Corrosion-related replacement on high-mileage Mercedes-Benz front suspension components
- Restoring proper front left upper suspension support after wear or damage
