Steady the strut rods and take the harshness out of the ride with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Strut Rod Bushing Kit 533-546. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on a wide range of classic Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, and Dorman precision-engineers and tests the kit to serve as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications.
Strut rod bushings cushion and locate the strut rod where it ties into the suspension, controlling fore-and-aft movement and damping road vibration. Worn or cracked bushings can allow extra movement, so if failed strut rod bushings are the cause of clunking under braking, steering wander, or uneven tire wear, this kit replaces them.
