Designed as a direct press-in replacement for OEM-spec lower control arms, the KR6693 fits either side and installs just like the factory unit, but with significantly improved strength and durability. Its reinforced housing and heat-treated ball stud are built to withstand harsh road conditions, heavy loads, and aggressive suspension angles.
