Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS301182
Firm up your rear suspension geometry and keep the wheel located precisely with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm (CMS40184). This rear forward lateral arm is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and the 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, positioning the rear wheel and controlling side-to-side movement as the suspension travels.
The lateral arm helps hold the rear wheel in its proper alignment and manages lateral loads through the suspension. Worn or damaged arms and their bushings can show up as clunking, uneven tire wear, or loose handling; if a failed lateral arm is the cause, this unit replaces it. Always diagnose the source of the symptom and inspect related suspension components before replacing.
