Product Overview

The front lower control arm, OEM number A1673300700, is the left-side assembly fitted to the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166, V167) and GLS (X167). Since this control arm spans both the GLE and GLS platforms, it's a steady-demand part number for distributors serving Mercedes-Benz SUV suspension parts markets.

Worn control arms typically show up as clunking or knocking noise from the front suspension over bumps, looseness in the steering or ride feel, or uneven tire wear. GSK Auto manufactures this control arm to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

What Is a Control Arm?

Function: The control arm connects the vehicle's chassis to the front wheel assembly, allowing controlled up-and-down suspension movement while maintaining wheel alignment.

Working Principle: One end of the control arm mounts to the chassis through bushings that absorb noise and vibration, while the other end connects to the steering knuckle via a ball joint, allowing the wheel to move through its suspension travel.

Importance: On a premium SUV platform carrying significant weight, a properly functioning control arm is essential for accurate wheel alignment, stable handling, and even tire wear.

Common Failures & Signs: Worn bushings or ball joint causing looseness or play. Clunking or knocking noise over bumps. Uneven or accelerated tire wear. Vehicle pulling to one side or vague steering feel.
