Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:540-860
Renew a worn suspension pivot with the Dorman control arm bushing, part number 540-852, a direct replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Flex and 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT. This Dorman suspension control arm bushing is cataloged for the front right lower rearward position. It cushions the point where the control arm pivots on the vehicle, which helps absorb road vibration and keeps arm movement controlled as the suspension travels.
Signs a control arm bushing may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a bushing that is visibly cracked or separated. If a worn bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. Other suspension components can produce similar symptoms, so have the suspension inspected to confirm the source before ordering. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
