Connect the front wheel to the chassis and guide its suspension travel with the MOOG RK620148 Control Arm with Ball Joint. This front lower forward assembly arrives with its ball joint pre-installed. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2007 Ford Fusion, 2007 Lincoln MKZ and 2003-2007 Mazda 6, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
MOOG engineers its premium control arms for foreign and domestic nameplates with structural strength and corrosion protection in mind:
- Carbon fiber bearing: Induction-hardened studs add strength. They pair with a patent-pending carbon fiber-reinforced bearing that is designed to reduce socket friction compared with typical non-reinforced bearings, for longer socket life.
- Optimized bushings: Built for quiet operation, the bushings resist wear, salt, road grime and oils.
- Structural strength: The arm is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, to help inhibit premature failure.
- Corrosion protection: Coated studs and an e-coated control arm help inhibit premature deterioration.
If you are planning a 2006-2007 Ford Fusion lower control arm replacement, this control arm and ball joint assembly comes installation-ready, with the ball joint already in place. Hardware is included for installation. Precision tolerances are intended for easy installation and steering alignment. A laser-etched ID marks it as genuine MOOG. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and have the alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 2006-2007 Ford Fusion control arm fit my car?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2006-2007 Ford Fusion, 2007 Lincoln MKZ and 2003-2007 Mazda 6. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.
Where does the MOOG RK620148 install?
It is cataloged for the front lower forward position. It links the chassis to the front wheel assembly through its bushings and ball joint.
What comes in the box?
You get the control arm with its ball joint already installed, plus the hardware MOOG includes for installation.
What makes this ball joint different?
It uses induction-hardened studs and a patent-pending carbon fiber-reinforced bearing. MOOG says the bearing reduces socket friction compared with typical non-reinforced bearings, for longer socket life.
What are signs a lower control arm may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or cracked bushings can indicate a worn arm or ball joint. Have the front suspension inspected before replacing parts.
