Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS401242

Help your rear suspension keep each wheel properly located with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CMS401242, a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2011 Ford Taurus, 2009-2011 Ford Flex and 2009-2011 Lincoln MKS. This rear assembly is listed under two names, lateral arm and lateral link and ball joint assembly. It combines the link and its ball joint in one unit, so both are replaced in a single job.

• Superior toughness: Sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
• Easy service and faster fit: A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for simple servicing. A part-specific nylon locking nut is also provided to speed up ball joint installation.
• Optimal performance: Steel tube construction is designed to meet or surpass OE specifications.
• Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.

Signs that this rear lateral link may need replacing include:

• Clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps
• Looseness or play in the ball joint
• Uneven rear tire wear
• A wandering feel on the road

Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values and for any fasteners not supplied, then have the wheel alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
