Keep the front lower control arm located and cushioned at the frame with the Mevotech Supreme Control Arm Bushing MK8612 — a direct-fit replacement and the Ford Escort control arm bushing many owners come looking for. It fits the 1984-1990 Ford Escort, 1984-1988 Ford EXP, 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1984-1987 Mercury Lynx and 1984-1994 Mercury Topaz; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
This suspension control arm bushing presses into the front lower control arm at the frame side, where it cushions the arm against the chassis, helps locate it through suspension travel, and isolates road vibration.
When the original rubber cracks, hardens or separates, you may notice clunking over bumps, imprecise steering, uneven tire wear or vibration. If a worn front control arm bushing is the cause, MK8612 replaces it.
