Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:MS30497
Cushion the pivot point of your front upper control arm with the Mevotech Supreme control arm bushing MK8721, made from high-grade natural rubber for increased durability. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A suspension control arm bushing sits between the arm and its mounting point. It absorbs road shock and helps hold the arm in its intended position as the suspension moves through its travel. Over time the rubber can crack, tear or break down. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before ordering, and check the alignment after installation.
