Keep the front wheel located and your steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme control arm (CMS40148), a direct-fit replacement for the front right (passenger-side) lower position on the 2005-2007 Ford Five Hundred, 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, and 2005-2007 Mercury Montego. This Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm ships with the ball joint pre-assembled, so a tired arm and a loose joint come out and go in as one unit.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
- A faster fit: part-specific nylon locking nut provided.
- Cast steel construction built to OE-level tolerances.
- Corrosion-resistant surface treatment to help resist rust.
The control arm pivots at its mounting points to locate the wheel to the frame while the integrated ball joint lets the knuckle turn and travel with the suspension. As a lower control arm for a 2005 Ford Five Hundred, 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, or 2005-2007 Mercury Montego, a worn arm or a failing joint can show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If those signs trace back to a worn arm or joint, this Mevotech Supreme lower control arm replaces it.
