Help keep the rear axle properly located and suspension movement under control with the Dorman control arm bushing / axle support bushing, part number 523-212. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2014 Ford Mustang and is cataloged for the rear upper position. Dorman lists this part under the axle support bushing name, and it is also classified as a control arm bushing.
A control arm bushing cushions the point where the arm connects, so the arm can pivot as designed while unwanted movement is limited and road vibration is absorbed.
Signs this bushing may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, a loose or unsettled feel from the rear, and a bushing that is visibly cracked, torn or separated. If a worn rear upper bushing is the cause, this Mustang control arm bushing replaces it. Diagnose the suspension first, because other worn components can produce similar symptoms.
