Detailed Description

This Mevotech GS40745 lateral arm is a rear suspension component for 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It is built as a premium OE replacement to restore factory suspension geometry, handling response, and ride quality on the rear suspension.
