    The same control arms were used on the Mustang and Cougar - if you can't find a Maverick listing, just get the Mustang ones 67-73, all the same.

    Oh, and buy the good ones like MOOG - stay away from anything made in China

    They will be listed as a lower control arm assembly. Comes with the control arm, inner bushing and new ball joint.

    what everyone else said. you cant buy the lower ball joints by themselves, you have to buy the whole lower control arm
