Product Details

SKF designs suspension components for OE vehicle manufacturers and applies that experience to its steering and suspension line. The VKDS124085B is engineered as a control arm and ball joint assembly for vehicles that use a front right upper mounting position, helping restore suspension geometry and steering response when the original part is worn. The included ball joint and sealed construction make it a practical service replacement for Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marauder, and Lincoln Town Car applications. This part number, VKDS124085B, also cross-references 3W1Z3084AA for the same application.

Common Repair Uses
