Refresh worn front steering and ride components with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CMS40181 — a direct-fit 2007-2012 Ford Fusion control arm that also fits the 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2007-2011 Mercury Milan. This front lower forward assembly locates the wheel and, through its integrated ball joint, lets the wheel pivot for steering while its bushings absorb road input.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting so the ball joint can be relubricated during routine service.
- A faster fit: a part-specific locking nut is provided to speed up ball joint installation.
- Forged steel construction: built to OE-level tolerances for the listed applications.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this Mevotech Supreme control arm is designed to replace the original if worn bushings or a failing ball joint are the cause of clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full engine-level fitment.
