Enhanced suspension control for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
The Dorman Lateral Arm is engineered to replace the factory rear suspension control arm toe compensator link on specific Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and Lincoln MKT models. This component addresses common failure points in the original design, particularly the welded threaded shaft ends that are prone to fracture, which can severely impact steering control and vehicle safety. By utilizing solid, one-piece steel castings with 18 millimeter diameter threaded shafts, this lateral link offers improved durability and resistance to fractures compared to the factory's 14 millimeter diameter, welded design.
This innovative design not only enhances the structural integrity of the suspension system but also optimizes load distribution, contributing to more predictable vehicle handling. The Dorman Lateral Arm has undergone rigorous testing, including material and finite element analysis, to ensure it meets high durability standards. With over a century of automotive experience, Dorman provides a trustworthy solution for those seeking a reliable replacement part that can potentially reduce long-term repair costs.
