Detailed Description

MOOG LK002 suspension knuckle assembly is a fitment-specific replacement for 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer rear right applications, with notes for vehicles without traction control. For 2002 models, fitment applies from 03/4/2002 and requires a 17 mm tie rod stud diameter. This part cross-references Ford 3L2Z5A968BA for the same application. The complete assembly format helps reduce the number of separate components needed during repair and supports a more efficient installation process on the rear suspension.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a worn or damaged rear suspension knuckle assembly.
  • Restoring hub and bearing support in the rear suspension.
  • Addressing noise or looseness related to knuckle or bearing wear.
  • Repairing backing plate and mounting component damage during suspension service.
  • Servicing rear right applications on Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and rear right application before installation. This part is listed for vehicles without traction control, and 2002 applications require the specified production date and 17 mm tie rod stud diameter. Prior to installation, inspect the parking brake shoes as noted in the fitment data. Follow the vehicle service procedure and confirm all related suspension and brake components are in serviceable condition.
