Detailed Description

This Mevotech lateral arm is made for rear upper suspension locations on the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. The GS401181 part number is listed for these applications and cross-references Delphi TC7307 and Dorman OE Solutions 524-743 for the same use. With a fixed 11.6-inch length and no adjustability, it matches the original suspension layout for vehicles that need rear upper arm replacement without changing alignment settings through the arm itself.

Use Mevotech GS401181 when servicing rear upper suspension wear on Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer models in the listed years. The part is positioned for rear upper use and is intended to restore factory-style suspension function in the specified applications.

Common Repair Uses

• Rear suspension noise from worn arm bushings or mounting points
• Uneven rear wheel tracking after suspension wear
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling on Explorer and Mountaineer models
• Replacement of a bent or fatigued rear upper lateral arm
• Correction of rear suspension geometry after component wear

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify rear upper fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Because this arm is non-adjustable and does not include a ball joint, transfer any required service components from the vehicle as needed based on the repair procedure. Final alignment checks should be performed after suspension work is completed.

Mevotech GS401181 is an OE replacement suspension component for the listed Ford and Mercury applications. It is cataloged for direct fitment on the specified rear upper positions and is supported by Mevotech Original Grade interchange references.
