Keep the rear suspension precisely located with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CMS401126). This rear lower rearward lateral arm installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002 Ford Explorer and 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, combining the link and its ball joint into one serviceable unit that helps position the wheel and hold rear alignment.
- Forged steel construction: engineered to OE-level specifications for load-bearing strength.
- Larger sphere ball stud: an application-specific ball stud system built with a larger sphere.
- Sintered bearings: for longer-lasting performance under load.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy relubrication, plus an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut for the ball joint.
A protective surface treatment resists rust build-up to help extend service life. Signs the original arm or its ball joint may need replacing include clunking over the rear, imprecise handling, or uneven rear tire wear; if a worn lateral arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Diagnose the cause before ordering.
