Restore tight, controlled handling with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMK80397), a direct-fit replacement for the front right lower position on the 2001-2004 Ford Escape and 2001-2004 Mazda Tribute. Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm is built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, and its Labor Saver™ hardware helps speed the install.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: a 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included for easy re-greasing.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
- Fasteners included: an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut come in the box.
The ball joint uses a thicker, stronger flange to help prevent deformation during installation, while the stamped steel construction is built to OE specifications and finished with a protective surface treatment that resists rust. If worn ball joints or bushings are behind clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or loose, wandering steering, replacing this Ford Escape control arm addresses those signs. The ball joint arrives pre-assembled with the arm, so you service both as one unit.
