The SKP SKCMS401241 is a rear lower suspension control arm for select Ford and Mercury applications. It is built for direct replacement use where the original arm has worn bushings, damaged mounting points, or excessive play.

Key Features

• Direct replacement suspension control arm for rear lower mounting locations.

Detailed Description

SKP SKCMS401241 is a rear lower suspension control arm engineered for 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer models. This type of control arm connects the suspension and helps maintain alignment, wheel control, and stable rear suspension movement. When the original arm develops looseness or damage, replacement with the correct SKCMS401241 part can restore proper handling response and reduce unwanted suspension movement.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Clunking or knocking from worn rear suspension components.
• Excessive rear suspension movement or looseness.
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn control arm bushings or joints.
• Loss of rear-end stability during braking or cornering.
• Suspension alignment issues after component wear.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower position and match the vehicle application before installation. Inspect related suspension bushings, fasteners, and mounting points for wear or damage before replacing the arm. After installation, a professional alignment check is recommended to confirm suspension geometry is within specification.
