Help keep your rear suspension steady with the Mevotech Supreme Control Arm Bushing MS40428, a direct-fit control arm bushing that installs in the rear lower control arm on the 2001-2008 Ford Escape, 2001-2008 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2009 Mercury Mariner. This suspension control arm bushing cushions the pivot between the control arm and its mounting point, helping locate the arm and absorb road vibration.
- Natural rubber construction: high-grade natural rubber for increased durability.
- OE quality fit and performance: engineered to match the original bushing's job in the rear lower control arm.
- Rear lower position: cataloged for the rear lower control arm on the listed applications.
A worn or cracked control arm bushing can allow extra movement in the arm, showing up as clunking over bumps, imprecise handling, or uneven tire wear. If a failed bushing is the cause of those symptoms, this replacement is designed to provide a correct, controlled pivot. Consider replacing the matching side at the same time for even, balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level application list.
