TRAONTU 14-Pc Front Suspension Kit for 2WD Ford F-150/F-250 & Expedition — 2.48" Idler-Arm Pattern, OE-Fit Steering Restore

This TRAONTU kit gathers the most commonly worn front suspension parts into one package, engineered to match original-equipment geometry for 2WD models with a 2.48" idler-arm bolt pattern. It includes upper and lower control arms with ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, sway bar links, an idler arm, pitman arm and adjusting sleeves—so you can rebuild the front end with coordinated parts designed to work together.

Which vehicles and configurations does this kit fit?

Fitment targets 2WD Ford trucks and SUVs from the late 1990s and early 2000s that share the 2.48" idler-arm bolt pattern. Confirm your truck is a 2WD model and check the idler arm bolt pattern before purchase to ensure compatibility.

• 1997–2003 Ford F-150 (2WD; 2.48" idler-arm bolt pattern)
• 1997–2002 Ford Expedition (2WD; 2.48" idler-arm bolt pattern)
• 1997–1999 Ford F-250 and specific 1997 F-250 2WD with 5.4L/4.6L IFS (2.48" pattern)
• 1998–2002 Lincoln Navigator and 2002 Lincoln Blackwood (2.48" pattern)

What parts are included and why they matter?

This 14-piece assembly includes all primary front-end wear items so you can replace multiple failure points at once, restoring steering response and reducing uneven tire wear. Each piece is supplied to match OE dimensions where it matters most for alignment and safety.

• 2x Front lower ball joints (K8695) sized for 1.749–1.753" control arm bore
• Front driver and passenger upper control arms with ball joints (K8726T, K8728T)
• Inner and outer tie rod ends (ES3364/ES3365 inner; ES3366/ES3367 outer) and 2 adjusting sleeves (ES3368)
• 2x sway bar end links (K8772), idler arm (2.5" bolt pattern K8739T), pitman arm (K8700)

How durable and precise are these TRAONTU components?

Parts are precision-forged in key control arm areas and finished with a rust-resistant coating to resist corrosion and extend service life. They are manufactured to maintain steering geometry and provide consistent fit without major modifications.

• High-strength steel construction in load-bearing zones
• Protective anti-corrosion coating for road longevity
• Form and mount points matched to OE locations for alignment stability

How does installing the full kit improve the driving experience?

Replacing worn, mixed-age front components at once restores predictable steering and helps prevent premature tire wear. Coordinated parts reduce play in the steering linkage and provide a firmer, more controlled ride under normal driving conditions.

• Restores steering responsiveness and reduces play
• Promotes even tire wear by maintaining proper camber/toe
• Improves cornering stability and minimizes vibration transmission

Who this is for: the TRAONTU 14-piece front suspension kit is tailored for DIY mechanics and professional shops rebuilding the front end on compatible 2WD Ford F-150/F-250, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator or Blackwood models. It’s ideal when multiple front components show wear, when you want a coordinated set of replacements for correct alignment, or when restoring handling without sourcing individual parts separately. Always verify vehicle year, drivetrain, and the 2.48" idler-arm bolt pattern before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
