What Happened

The front upper control arm is a crucial part in your Bronco or Ranger that helps connect the steering system to the wheels. It has a special fastener that keeps it in place, but in some 2024-2025 models, this fastener might be missing or tightened incorrectly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the control arm breaks free, you could lose control of your vehicle while driving, which raises the risk of a serious crash.

How to Get This Fixed
