Replace a worn front right lower rearward arm in one step with the MOOG RK620493 control arm with ball joint, engineered for structural strength and corrosion protection. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
- Carbon fiber-reinforced bearing: A patent-pending bearing reduces socket friction compared with typical non-reinforced bearings and is designed for longer socket life. It is combined with induction-hardened studs.
- Hardened studs: The studs are induction hardened to maximize strength, resist breakage and improve fatigue life.
- Pre-installed dust boot seal: Forms a barrier against wear-causing dirt and water.
- Corrosion protection and premium bushings: Specially engineered coatings are applied to metal surfaces to help inhibit premature deterioration from rain, snow, salt and road grime. The pre-installed bushings have optimized stiffness to help limit noise for a comfortable ride.
As a control arm and ball joint assembly, it combines the arm and ball joint in one unit, with the bushings and dust boot seal pre-installed. MOOG includes the hardware needed for installation. Precision tolerances are intended to make both installation and steering alignment easier. A laser-etched ID marks it as a genuine MOOG part.
If you need a 2006-2012 Ford Fusion lower control arm for the front right rearward position, watch for these signs that the arm or its ball joint may need replacing: clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected first to confirm the cause.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a front right lower rearward control arm do?
It connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis so the wheel can move up and down with the suspension. Its ball joint lets the steering knuckle pivot as you steer.
Is this the right 2006-2012 Ford Fusion control arm for my car?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the front right lower rearward position on the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion. It also fits the 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your vehicle.
What comes in the box with the MOOG RK620493?
You get the control arm with its ball joint, plus pre-installed bushings and a dust boot seal. MOOG states it also comes with all necessary hardware for installation.
What are signs this part may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear or a torn ball joint boot can all indicate a worn arm or ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
MOOG builds it to precision tolerances for easier steering alignment. It is still good practice to have the wheel alignment checked after replacing a control arm.
