Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:CMS86142
Keep your front suspension properly located and pivoting with the Mevotech Supreme control arm and ball joint assembly (CMK80720). This pre-assembled front right lower unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
A control arm links the steering knuckle to the frame and lets the suspension move through its travel, while the integrated ball joint allows the knuckle to pivot for steering. As the front right lower piece, it serves as a Ford Explorer lower control arm replacement when the original arm, bushings, or ball joint have worn.
If a worn front lower arm or ball joint is the cause of clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this Mevotech Supreme suspension control arm replaces it.
What vehicles does the Mevotech Supreme control arm CMK80720 fit?
It fits the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Is this a control arm and ball joint assembly?
Yes. It ships as a complete control arm and ball joint assembly, so the ball joint is already pressed into the arm — no separate ball joint press or installation is required.
What position does this control arm install in?
This unit is cataloged for the front right lower position. Suspension arms are replaced side by side, so consider inspecting the opposite side while you are working.
Is the ball joint nut included?
Yes. Mevotech's Labor Saver design supplies a part-specific hex nut to make ball joint installation faster and easier.
What are signs my control arm or ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, popping when turning, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these can have other sources.
