Mevotech Supreme Suspension Strut Bearing P/N:MP901947
Keep your steering turning smoothly and quietly with the Mevotech Supreme Strut Bearing MP901901. This suspension strut bearing seats at the top of the strut assembly and lets the strut rotate as you steer, so a worn bearing that causes creaking, binding, or notchy steering through turns can be replaced. It drops in at the front-left or front-right position on the 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1984-1994 Mercury Topaz, 1985-1990 Ford Escort, 1985-1988 Ford EXP, and 1985-1987 Mercury Lynx.
Because the bearing wears with mileage on both sides, replacing the pair together is good practice for balanced, even steering feel. Confirm the fit for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.
