Keep the front suspension tight and the steering precise with the Mevotech TTX Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CTXMS40185) — a Ford Explorer control arm that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This is the front left lower unit, combining the control arm, bushings, and pre-installed ball joint in one serviceable assembly.
Cast steel construction is engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications, and Repel-TEK™ surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up for a longer service life. If a worn control arm, failed bushing, or loose ball joint is behind your clunking, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this assembly replaces the original front left lower component in one part.
What vehicles does the Mevotech TTX control arm CTXMS40185 fit?
