Detailed Description

SKP SRK8710 is a replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered for listed Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Ford Explorer Sport, Mazda B2500, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, and Mercury Mountaineer applications. The fitment data identifies front right upper placement across model years from 1995 through 2005, with notes that include 2-piece design and adjustable configurations on specific vehicles. Use SRK8710 when replacing a worn upper control arm assembly on compatible Ford Explorer and Ranger platforms or related Mazda and Mercury trucks and SUVs.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end looseness from a worn upper control arm assembly
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
• Clunking or knocking from worn ball joint or control arm components
• Steering instability related to upper suspension wear
• Alignment problems after suspension component deterioration

Installation Notes

Install only on the exact year, make, model, and position listed in the fitment table. Several applications include adjustable or 2-piece design notes, so verify the existing suspension layout before ordering. The fitment data also shows some 2001 and 2003 Ford and Mercury applications with without-bushing notes, which should be matched carefully during service.

Quality Assurance

SRK8710 is cataloged as an OE-style replacement part with multiple aftermarket cross-references for the same application, including Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286. Confirm the part number SRK8710 against the vehicle listing before installation.
