Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS101112
Tighten up your rear suspension and restore precise wheel location with the Mevotech Supreme Rear Outer Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CMS40726). This rear-outer lateral link with integrated ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
The lateral arm sets rear wheel position while the ball joint permits the pivoting motion the suspension needs. Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear on acceleration, deceleration or over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, and loose or wandering handling. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
