Looking for Mevotech Left Front Lower Control Arm, model number CMS801118. Can't find it in stock and no one has an ETA. Does anyone have one or know of a shop that has one available?

 

youd be better off buying a used one... the oem front lowers are pretty robust even used

 

CMS801118 looks to be NLA, and may not be for the FD?

MS801118, 2703-70428, 522-937, and CB65243PR instead

 

Friends don't let friends buy Chinesium junk!
seriously, just buy the OE arms from Ray if you need new ones. If those are are on back order or something, get some used ones from the classifieds.

 

They advertise them as forged aluminum. No idea on the quality of the ball joint, but does anyone have actual useful information on them? The bushings can always be swapped out.

For a car capable of doing over 150mph with ease, best bet would be to buy anything structural, brand new.

 

The problem with parts store replacement items like these is that the quality control simply is not there. Sure, they may be forged Al, but what alloy? Mazda isn't disclosing their recipe and forging process.
Critical parts like these are simply not things to cheap out on. Definitely not on car like the FD.
