rear suspension part warn out. need help identifying.

[jruppert]

Hello everyone. I have an 07 EL and it has some play on the rear driver side wheel. I am unable to take a pic at the moment of the part but I have identified the worn out part but not sure what the official name for the part is. What I believe is the part is a rear upper control arm. Anyway, I can take the wheel and move it in and out at 12 and 6 o'clock position. The movement is at 12 o'clock which is where the part is. Its a rod of some sort that runs from the spindle to the frame of the vehicle. I believe I have identified the part in rock auto. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a couple pictures here. The movement is in the ball stud area. Can anyone confirm if this is considered the upper control arm? I found lateral link but I am almost certain this is not the part. Thanks

I think you've got the right part..I would not recommend Moog R series though.

what do you recommend?

oem

Any Moog parts that start with CK or RK are economy quality..I took a look at rockauto and didn't see anything I would use. Probably best to go with OEM and never worry about it wearing out again.

Check fordparts.com for the part number then use it to search on ebay for a lower price on the new OEM part.

While this is true, I can see the lateral link move when someone pushes on the tire and im underneath watching. I dont have a grind or howl from the rear.
