Rear Lower Control Arm Ford 7T4Z5A649AA Suspension OEM for Ford Edge / Lincoln MKX 2007-2010

Reliability and Precision Handling

The rear lower suspension control arm with part number 7T4Z5A649AA is a genuine OEM component, engineered by Ford to provide benchmark handling and comfort. This suspension element is responsible for maintaining correct wheel alignment geometry and absorbing vibrations generated when driving on uneven road surfaces. Using a genuine control arm ensures the full restoration of factory chassis characteristics, which is particularly vital for maintaining the directional stability of heavy crossovers.

Design Advantages and Materials

The product is manufactured from high-strength steel using a casting method followed by precision machining of the mounting points. To protect against aggressive environmental influences — such as moisture, road chemicals, and road debris — the arm's body is coated with a specialized black anti-corrosion finish. The control arm is supplied as an assembly with pre-pressed bushings made from natural rubber with metal sleeves. This design provides the necessary joint elasticity while maintaining high torsional rigidity.

Safety and Durability

Genuine Ford control arms undergo rigorous bench testing for fatigue strength and resistance to peak loads. Unlike non-original aftermarket parts, the bushing mounting dimensions in the 7T4Z5A649AA model are precisely calibrated, which eliminates play and extraneous noises (clunks) in the suspension throughout a long service life. Replacing the entire arm assembly avoids the labor-intensive process of re-pressing individual components and guarantees a reliable fix for all rear axle elements.

Detailed Compatibility Table

This control arm is used in the rear suspension of all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive vehicles built on the CD3 platform.
