Ford Kuga Mk2 Rear Suspension Control Arm Right O/S CV61-5K898-AAB

Ford Kuga Mk2 Rear Suspension Control Arm Right O/S is an original component from the Control arms and ball joints group, designed for operation in the rear axle on the passenger side. Thanks to its factory geometry and precise fit to the suspension design of the second-generation Ford Kuga, it ensures stable handling, predictable vehicle behavior, and proper cooperation with other chassis components. This is a solution for users who expect precise installation and the maintenance of driving parameters in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented control arm is designed for installation in the rear suspension on the right side, in the area responsible for wheel guidance and maintaining proper axle geometry. This placement has a direct impact on:

• vehicle stability while driving straight,
• vehicle behavior in corners and during lane changes,
• even tire wear and correct wheel alignment. Selecting the correct component for the specific side of the vehicle is crucial for maintaining suspension symmetry and avoiding handling irregularities.

Technical and functional characteristics

The control arm belongs to the Control arms and ball joints group, which are components responsible for transferring loads between the body and the wheel, as well as controlling suspension movement in multiple planes. The design of this type of component ensures:

• a rigid yet flexible connection between the wheel and the body,
• precise wheel guidance throughout the suspension travel range,
• cooperation with metal-rubber bushings and ball joints to dampen vibrations. By maintaining factory mounting points, the control arm allows for correct geometry adjustment, which translates into confident handling of the Ford Kuga Mk2 both in daily city driving and at higher speeds on the highway.

Benefits of using an original Ford component

Using an original control arm dedicated to the second-generation Ford Kuga brings a number of practical operational benefits:

• Factory fit – maintaining the correct mounting points and suspension kinematics without the need for modifications.
• Suspension system compatibility – reliable cooperation with other rear axle components, such as springs, shock absorbers, or the stabilizer bar.
• Predictable vehicle behavior – maintaining the handling characteristics designed by the manufacturer. A component from this group is particularly important when experiencing symptoms such as vehicle pulling, rear-end instability, uneven tire wear, or knocking sounds coming from the rear axle – replacing a worn control arm with the correct component helps restore proper suspension operation.

Condition, installation, and practical application

The offered control arm is a used original component, which allows for maintaining factory fit while optimizing repair costs. In practice, this means it can be used as a replacement for a worn or damaged component in the rear right suspension of the Ford Kuga Mk2, while adhering to the design intended by the manufacturer. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard inspection of the condition of cooperating suspension elements, and after replacement – to perform a measurement and, if necessary, an adjustment of wheel geometry to fully utilize the potential of the newly installed control arm.
