Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:MK8240
Soak up road impacts and keep the control arm located where it belongs with the Mevotech Supreme Control Arm Bushing MK8588 — the direct-fit Ford Thunderbird control arm bushing that also drops into the 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar and the 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII. This suspension control arm bushing installs in the rear-at-knuckle (upper) position, cushioning the connection between the control arm and the knuckle so movement stays controlled and vibration is dampened.
Over time a control arm bushing can dry-rot, crack, or split. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, imprecise or wandering handling, and excess play at the control arm — if a worn bushing is the cause, this replaces it. Diagnose the source before ordering.
