MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:RK622137
Keep the front suspension tight and the steering responsive with the MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (RK80055). This front right lower unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird and 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar applications, combining the lower control arm and its ball joint into one ready-to-install assembly.
The control arm locates the wheel and connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame, letting the suspension travel up and down, while the integrated ball joint lets the knuckle pivot for steering and suspension articulation.
Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven or premature front tire wear. If a worn lower control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused; a wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
Manufacturer part number RK80055.
