S197 Front Lower Control Arms & Ball Joints

Application split confirmed, not a simple supersession. Early 05-10/through 08-03-2009 18mm ball-joint shaft uses M-3075-E style kit; late 2010+ style control arms use later 2010-2014 applications. Exact OE supersession chain still needs Ford catalog export before public OE-number table.

Gate 1 verified for major fitment trap: Ford Performance M-3075-E fits 2005-2010 Mustang GT built on/before 08/03/2009 with 18mm ball-joint shaft and was OE on 2007-2009 GT500. Cars built after 08/03/2009 use the later front-control-arm family. Moog also splits 05-10 RK80727/RK80726 from 2010-14 RK622156/RK622155.

Ford Performance M-3075-E GT500-style kit; Moog RK80727/RK80726 for 05-10; Moog RK622156/RK622155 for 2010-14; Mevotech/TRQ/OPR budget assemblies; BMR/Whiteline style performance arms if page expands.

M-3075-E applies to the early 18 mm ball-joint-shaft family, including 2005-2010 cars built on or before 2009-08-03. Later cars use a different control-arm family. Confirm build date and shaft size before ordering.
