Steady your steering and smooth out the ride with the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMS40185, a front left (driver's side) lower control arm and ball joint assembly that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and the 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. The control arm locates the wheel and allows the suspension to travel, while the integrated ball joint lets the wheel steer and articulate — making it a common repair when a worn 2014 Ford Explorer lower control arm starts to knock or wander.
