Ford Expedition Control Arms, Suspension Rods & Parts

The suspension can generally be dependent or independent, and comfortable modern vehicles tend to have a fully independent setup providing the finest ride quality, handling, and traction. The automotive industry offers various types of independent suspension such as the MacPherson strut, short- & long-arm (SLA), and various multi-link constructions found in front or in the rear. Meanwhile, most of them use control arms to attach the wheel assembly to the chassis, and these parts have to be in good condition to perform well.

Depending on the model year, your Ford Expedition may have a solid axle or multi-link setup in the rear. In the latter case, the SUV has a fully independent suspension that appeared in this model in the second generation. Virtually all models have the SLA layout in front, so the rear suspension makes the main difference in ride quality. Besides control arms, the rear setup includes trailing arms and some other links which also contribute to stability, traction, and comfort.
