Summit Racing: Mevotech Supreme Control Arms for Ram 1500

Arms Racing

When the updated RAM 1500 debuted in 2019, it nabbed the coveted Motor Trend Truck of the Year award. Now just a couple of years and a few thousand miles later, owners are discovering the truck’s lightweight steel-and-plastic-coated composite control arms are on a collision course with the nearest trash heap. The blame lies with the large, hollow voids inside the arms that permit them to twist dramatically when driving. The twisting action overloads the bushings, leading to significantly reduced life and increased tire wear. Additionally, the sphere of the ball joint erodes the plastic filling around it, further reducing component life.

Mevotech Supreme Control Arms provide a durable alternative to the OE-style part. The solid one-piece 1045 steel forged construction substantially increases stiffness and strength. The sintered metal ball joints have larger spheres to boost contact pressure and ball pin strength, and are surface hardened to prevent premature wear. Zerk fittings allow owners to grease the joints for even longer life, and upgraded bushings contain additional rubber to improve durability and reduce flex for reduced body roll. Mevotech Supreme Control Arms are fully assembled to get you back on the road faster.
