Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:540-829
Give a worn lower control arm a fresh pivot point with the Dorman control arm bushing, part number 540-851. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Flex and 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT. It is cataloged for the front left lower rearward position and replaces the original bushing at that spot on the lower control arm.
A control arm bushing is the cushioned pivot between the control arm and the chassis. It lets the arm move with the suspension while helping to absorb road vibration and limit unwanted movement. This Dorman suspension control arm bushing is precision-engineered and tested to serve as a dependable replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications.
Signs that a lower control arm bushing may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, a loose or wandering steering feel, uneven tire wear, and visible cracking or separation of the bushing. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Have the alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.
