If a problem crops up or a part needs to be fixed, don't wimp out with the wrong component. That Ford Explorer needs the right auto parts to take on the world with its best performance. A Ford Explorer is eager to conquer any off-road challenge, but must have first-rate quality OEM and aftermarket parts to take you to your destination. Durable off-roaders like your terrain-mastering Ford Explorer are meant for rough use wherever they're taken but they need proper upkeep and top-notch parts to keep on conquering all the world's outdoor playgrounds. The Ford you chose was designed with quality and expertise; it needs replacement parts of a similar top level of value. Auto enthusiasts who revel in performance vehicles recognize that there's nothing more important than putting in the best aftermarket parts for your car. Your car is an investment because it has great performance and awesome style, so to have it humming in top condition you want the acme in high-quality parts and accessories. A Ford Explorer Control Arm is a crucial component of your car's suspension system, for it mates the steering knuckle to the car or truck's frame. When a Ford Explorer Control Arm snaps, it is often wise to have the opposing arm checked, for it also may need maintenance. The slender end of the Ford Explorer Control Arm appends to your wheel in a ball joint while the wider end of the arm is fastened to a vehicle frame and turns on a bushing. A smart way to guard your car or truck's performance is with our quality parts and awesome customer service. You don't have to decide between your wallet and dependability when you get your parts.

Research on Control Arm for Ford Explorer
Do you have a problem with your Ford Explorer upper control arm or lower control arm?
Just like all other car parts, control arms wear out. They can bend or break when driving on rough terrain, large potholes or bumps. If your tires are not wearing out normally, you need to check if your control arm assemblies are functioning properly. Common symptoms that indicate that your control arm assembly needs to be replaced include; banging noises when taking bumps and a steering wheel that is vibrating. The Ford Explorer lower control arm bushing wears out on its own and should be checked regularly.
The Ford Explorer Control Arm Replacement
The cost of replacing a control arm may be expensive because the entire control arm assembly may need to be replaced. Though it largely depends on the level of wear and damage, bushings and ball joints are usually replaced when a control arm assembly needs replacement. The Ford Explorer control arm bushing replacement can be conducted separately, though when worn the entire control arm can be replaced for cost effectiveness.The Ford Explorer upper control arm replacement cost may range between $160 to$390, it is reasonable to replace both control arms at the same time though not necessary, this is because if one is worn out or damaged, you can expect the other to require a replacement soon. It is a requirement that wheel alignment is performed after control arms are replaced.
Control Arm, Ball Joint Connection
Just like the ball and socket joint connects the human leg bone to the hip bone, the automotive ball joint attaches the control arm to the steering knuckle. While the control arm allows up and down motion, it's the steering knuckle that turns the wheel when you turn the steering. Depending on your vehicle's suspension system, there is a possibility of either a lower or upper ball joint and the lower ball joint takes the greatest hits, therefore wearing out very fast. This is the reason why the 2004 Ford Explorer lower ball joint replacement is a common procedure for auto mechanics. To replace your Ford Explorer worn out control arms and associated parts you can always visit your best online auto parts and accessories retailer PartsGeek.comfor the best deals.
