Description

Keep the rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS401181. It installs as a rear upper lateral arm and serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.

Locates the rear wheel: the rear upper lateral arm helps hold suspension geometry and control wheel position as the suspension moves.
Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup and adds to longevity.
Direct-fit application: designed to install on the listed applications.

A worn or bent lateral arm can show up as clunking or knocking from the rear, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and alignment that won't hold. If a failed rear upper lateral arm is the cause, this replaces it. Because these arms work as a matched pair per axle, inspect the opposite side and consider replacing both together for balanced handling, and have the alignment set after installation.

It is cataloged as a rear upper lateral arm, helping locate the rear wheel and maintain suspension geometry as the suspension travels.

What are signs this lateral arm may need replacing?

Should I replace both sides at once?
