• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford rear suspension lower control arm, cataloged by Ford as Arm Assembly - Rear Suspension under part number 8A8Z-5A649-C. It mounts between the rear subframe and the wheel knuckle, locating the wheel and maintaining proper camber and toe geometry while transferring cornering, braking, and road loads through its bushings. It fits the Ford D3 and D4 unibody platform, including 2009-2019 Ford Flex, 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, 2010-2019 Ford Taurus, 2019 Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility, along with Lincoln MKS and MKT built on the same architecture, across 2.0L EcoBoost, 2.3L, 3.5L, and 3.7L engine configurations. Owners typically replace this arm when the pressed-in bushings crack, split, or wear out, producing clunking or knocking over bumps, a wandering or loose-feeling rear end, uneven or accelerated inner tire wear, and rear alignment readings that will not hold within spec. A bent arm from pothole impact or a curb strike will also throw off geometry and cause pulling. As an OEM component it matches the original mounting points, bushing durometer, and load ratings so factory ride quality and alignment adjustability are restored. Ford specifies a four-wheel alignment after installation, and the suspension should be loaded to normal ride height before final torque of the pivot fasteners so the bushings are not preloaded. Inspect the mating bushings, knuckle, and fasteners during service and replace any single-use fasteners rather than reusing them. Using the correct genuine Ford arm avoids the fitment and durability problems common with generic replacements and keeps the rear suspension responding the way it did from the factory.
