Connect the front wheel assembly to the frame through a greaseable pivot with the Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm CMK80054, a front left upper control arm that comes with its ball joint. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2010 Mazda B2300 and 1998-2007 Mazda B3000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. The brand builds its Supreme control arms for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, and its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
As a control arm and ball joint assembly, it replaces both components as one unit. If you're replacing a worn Ford Ranger upper control arm, the signs that it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and excessive play at the ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing. This listing is for one front left upper arm, and replacing the left and right arms together is recommended.
Is this the right Ford Ranger control arm for my truck?
It is listed for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger as the front left upper control arm. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and engine.
Will this upper control arm fit a 2001 Ford Ranger?
Yes. The 2001 model year falls within the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger fitment, and this arm is for the front left upper position.
What comes in the box?
You get the front left upper control arm with its ball joint, a 180-degree SAE grease fitting, and an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut for the ball joint.
What is the control arm made of?
The arm is forged steel with a thicker cross section. A protective surface treatment helps resist rust build-up.
What are signs this part may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint may be signs of a worn upper arm or ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
