• Description:

  This Genuine Ford rear lower suspension control arm is the lateral link that positions the rear wheel and manages its movement through suspension travel on the 2009 through 2012 Ford Escape and its shared Mercury platform. Ford lists the part as a suspension control arm in the rear lower location. It ties the rear knuckle to the subframe and, together with the companion links, holds the wheel's camber, toe and tracking within specification so the vehicle steers straight and wears its tires evenly. When the arm or its integral bushings wear out, drivers notice clunking and knocking from the rear over bumps, a loose or wandering feel at speed, cupped or feathered tire wear, and an alignment that drifts out of tolerance. Pothole and curb impacts that bend the stamped-steel arm, and rust that weakens it, are the other common triggers for replacement. This genuine Ford arm is built to the original contour, bushing arrangement and mounting-point layout, so it installs at the factory locations and restores the intended rear geometry. The pivot-bolt fasteners are torque-critical, so final tightening should be done with the suspension supporting the vehicle at ride height, followed by a four-wheel alignment. As a genuine Ford part it provides accurate fit, quiet operation and dependable service life.
