Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS601180
Keep your rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Rear Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CMS401243. This rear-position lateral arm assembly bolts in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Ford Thunderbird and 2000-2006 Lincoln LS — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. The arm helps position the wheel and maintain rear suspension geometry, while its integrated ball joint provides the pivoting connection that allows controlled movement, helping restore steady handling and even tire wear when a worn original is the cause of clunks, looseness, or alignment drift.
Suspension arms wear as a pair — inspect the opposite side and replace it as needed for balanced handling; this listing is for one assembly.
