Keep the front right upper corner of your suspension tight and controlled with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly, MPN CMS40117. This unit installs at the front right upper position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer — a strong choice when you need a Mevotech Supreme control arm to locate the wheel and help maintain precise steering geometry.
The arm and its integrated ball joint work together to position the wheel and support steering. If a worn control arm or ball joint is causing clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this assembly replaces the failed original on the listed applications.
Where does the CMS40117 mount?
It installs at the front right upper position of the front suspension on the listed applications.
