Mevotech TTX Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CTXMS501239
Replace a worn Ford Ranger control arm with the Mevotech TTX Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CTXK8710T), a front right upper unit that helps support and locate the suspension while its integrated ball joint allows the wheel to steer and travel. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, 1999-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2008 Mazda B3000 and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine coverage and the full list.
The ball joint uses a thicker, stronger flange to help prevent deformation during installation, and pre-applied nylok thread adhesive keeps fasteners secure and vibration resistant. Fasteners are included: an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over the road, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
