Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:540-860
Help bring a worn suspension connection back to a tight, controlled feel with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing 540-863 — a Dorman control arm bushing built as a direct replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It serves the front, left, lower, rearward position, cushioning the control arm's pivot to the chassis while isolating road vibration and helping keep suspension geometry in check.
A worn 2002-2005 Ford Explorer lower control arm bushing can show up as clunking over bumps, vague or imprecise steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed bushing in this location is the cause, this part replaces it. Diagnose the source of the symptom before ordering, since these signs can also come from other suspension components.
