Keep the rear suspension located and cushioned with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm Bushing MK8562 — a direct-fit Ford Thunderbird control arm bushing that also drops onto the 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar. Fitting the rear upper-to-frame position, this bushing lets the control arm pivot against the frame while absorbing road inputs and helping hold suspension geometry in place. When the original rubber cracks, hardens, or separates, it can allow excess arm movement — if a worn bushing is the cause of a clunk or sloppy handling, this replaces it.

- Rear upper-to-frame position: cataloged for the rear upper control-arm-to-frame location.
