MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:RK620079
MOOG Chassis Products RK620225 front left upper control arm with ball joint for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and other vehicles connects the wheel to the frame. Sold as a control arm and ball joint assembly, it is pre-greased.
A clunk over bumps, uneven tire wear or wandering steering can mean this control arm or its ball joint is worn, though a worn tie rod end or sway bar link can be behind them too. Plan to replace the upper arms as a pair on the front axle; this listing is one arm, for the front left.
This upper control arm is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. The 2002-2005 Ford Explorer takes one on this side; the front right upper arm is a separate part.
