Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2002-05 Sebring

Our review of this front right lower control arm with ball joint finds it best suited for owners who need an exact fit replacement for specific 2001-2005 Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi models. The main reason to consider this part is its vehicle-specific direct fit design, which replaces the original lower control arm and press-in ball joint in one assembly and can save time during installation. For a DIY mechanic or a shop handling common Sebring, Stratus, Eclipse, or Galant repairs, this unit offers a straightforward swap without fabrication.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The part is designed to match OE mounting points so it installs with the same alignment geometry as the original component.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Includes the lower control arm and ball joint together, avoiding the need to press in a separate joint and simplifying replacement.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment notes cover Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Eclipse and Galant models so buyers can verify compatibility before ordering.
• OE Reference Numbers: Listed OE references such as MR455736 and MR554376 help confirm this unit corresponds to factory part numbers for comparison.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Multiple aftermarket reference numbers are provided to help match to other suppliers and maintenance records.

Who It's For

This control arm is intended for drivers and independent shops repairing the front passenger side lower suspension on compatible 2002-2005 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus coupes, 2001-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse models, and 2001-2003 Mitsubishi Galant variants. It is a practical choice for someone who wants a direct replacement that closely matches the original equipment.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-listed years or body styles, or anyone requiring a greaseable or adjustable aftermarket performance arm; this is a non-greaseable, non-adjustable press-in ball joint assembly intended as an OE-style replacement.
