Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS401299
Keep the front wheel precisely located and your steering geometry in check with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CMS40129), the front right lower unit for your truck. This Ford Ranger control arm installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2010 Mazda B2300, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500 and 1998-2004 Mazda B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level coverage.
As the front right lower arm, it connects the wheel knuckle to the frame while the integrated ball joint lets the wheel pivot for steering and travel over bumps. Worn bushings or a loose ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or wandering steering; if a failed arm is the cause, this control arm and ball joint assembly replaces the arm, bushing and ball joint as one serviceable unit.
Does this fit my Ford Ranger?
Yes — it's a direct-fit front right lower control arm for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, plus the 2001-2010 Mazda B2300, 1998-2001 B2500, 1998-2007 B3000 and 1998-2004 B4000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level coverage.
Is this an upper or lower control arm?
This is the front right lower unit. If you need an upper arm for your Ranger, this is not the correct position.
Does it come with a ball joint and mounting hardware?
Yes. The ball joint is integrated into the arm, and the assembly includes a part-specific castle nut, cotter pin, and a 90-degree SAE grease fitting for service.
What is it made of?
It uses stamped steel construction with a protective surface treatment to help resist corrosion, plus sintered bearings for added durability.
What are the signs my control arm may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or loose, wandering steering can point to a worn bushing or ball joint. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
