Detailed Description

Mevotech Original Grade parts are engineered as exact-match replacements for the original component, making GS401186 a practical choice for restoring OE performance on the front left lower suspension. The forged steel arm, rubber bushings, and pre-greased ball joint work together to support stable handling, consistent alignment behavior, and a smoother ride. This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers such as DA5Z3C403A and DA5Z3079A for the same application.

Use GS401186 when servicing a Ford Taurus front left lower control arm, Lincoln MKS front left lower control arm, or Lincoln MKT front left lower control arm where original suspension geometry and ride quality need to be maintained. The part number GS401186 is also a useful reference when matching OE-style suspension components for these vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Excessive vibration transferred through the front suspension
• Restoring alignment stability after control arm wear

Installation Notes
