The lower control arms ( two / one on drivers side and one on passenger side ,
that have the lower ball joints ) are the lower part of the front suspension
* at least that is the way it is on my 1995 Ford Explorer , 2003 and newer Ford
Explorers might use them on the rear suspension also ( I'm not a mechanic /
technician )
