Bolt renewed control back into the front corner with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CB850124RD, the front right lower unit for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). It positions the wheel and locates the lower suspension while its integrated ball joint allows the steering and suspension to move. Part of Dorman's RD "rugged duty" line, it's a direct replacement designed to match the fit of the OE design in severe-duty applications.
Signs the original may need replacing include clunking over impacts, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear when a worn ball joint or bushing is the cause.

Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can point to a worn ball joint or bushing. Diagnose the cause first; if this assembly is worn, it replaces the original.
