Keep your front wheel located and your steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly, MPN CMK8313. This front left lower unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1983 Ford Escort, 1982-1983 Ford EXP, 1982-1983 Mercury LN7 and 1981-1983 Mercury Lynx — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Mevotech Supreme arms are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. As the front left lower arm, it pivots with suspension travel while its integrated ball joint carries the steering knuckle. If a worn arm or ball joint is behind clunking over the front, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this assembly replaces it.
