Service the front suspension on a 2004-2005 Ford Explorer or 2004-2005 Mercury Mountaineer with the Dorman - OE Solutions 541-086, an extended-life 2004-2005 Ford Explorer suspension kit that also covers the 2004-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. This application-specific front-end kit packs left- and right-side components into one box so both sides can be repaired together. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and is engineered to deliver factory-like feel and performance.
This Dorman suspension kit brings Dorman's extended-life design to the front end of the listed applications. Signs that front suspension components may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Because these symptoms can have more than one cause, have the suspension inspected to confirm the source before ordering. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
