Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS40112

Help keep the rear wheel precisely located with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMS40112), a direct-fit replacement for the rear left lower position on the 2001-2008 Ford Escape, 2001-2008 Mazda Tribute and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner. This Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm ships with the ball joint already installed, so you replace both wear points in a single part.

• Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
• Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy lubrication.
• Exceptional fit: the ball joint uses a thicker, stronger flange to resist deformation during installation, plus a part-specific nylon locking nut for a faster fit.
• Durable build: stamped steel construction built to OE-level tolerances, with a protective surface treatment that resists corrosion.

This lower control arm locates the rear wheel and, together with its integrated ball joint, lets the suspension travel and pivot while helping keep alignment in check. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, and loose or imprecise handling — if a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both. Sold individually for the rear left lower position; inspect the opposite side and, where wear is even, replace in pairs for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
