Take care of Ford Explorer control arm bushing replacement with the SKP Control Arm Bushing, part number SK523262, a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It suits all engines on the listed applications and is cataloged for the front right lower control arm.
A control arm bushing sits where the control arm pivots on the chassis. It cushions the joint and lets the arm move as the suspension travels, while helping hold the arm in position. When a bushing wears, the arm can shift. You may notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If a worn bushing is causing these symptoms, this Ford Explorer suspension control arm bushing replaces it.
During installation, inspect the control arm and the surrounding suspension parts. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, the torque values, and any alignment check after the bushing is replaced.
