Keep your front suspension tight and your steering true with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CMK80068) — a direct-fit Ford Ranger control arm that also serves as the front right upper control arm and ball joint assembly for a range of Ford, Mazda and Mercury trucks and SUVs. This front right upper unit combines the forged arm, bushing and ball joint in one serviceable piece, locating the wheel and allowing controlled suspension travel.
Added knurling locks the control arm bushing to the sub-frame for an optimal fit, while a larger-sphere ball stud system is tuned to the application and a protective surface treatment helps resist rust build-up. If a worn control arm or ball joint is behind clunking, wandering steering or uneven tire wear on your Ford Explorer, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces it. Fits the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, 1999-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2008 Mazda B3000 and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full application list.
