Front Lower Control Arm Set for 2010-2012 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT

In this review the focus is on a practical replacement option for owners of 2010-2012 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT models. The kit delivers a complete 4 piece solution that replaces both front lower control arms and the rearward lower bushings, so the single biggest reason to consider it is convenience: buyers get both pre-assembled control arms with ball joints and matching rearward control arm bushings in one purchase, which simplifies a front suspension refresh without hunting down separate parts.

Key Features
