Bring tight wheel location and controlled front-suspension movement back to your vehicle with the Mevotech Supreme control arm, MPN CMS401215. This front right lower control arm and ball joint assembly drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009 Ford Flex and 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, positioning the steering knuckle and allowing the suspension to travel while the integrated ball joint carries the pivoting motion between the arm and the knuckle.
Worn control arm bushings or a failing ball joint can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a failed original arm or ball joint is the cause, replacing this assembly restores that pivot and mounting point in one part.
