Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:MS254277
Help cushion the front suspension and keep the control arm properly located with the Mevotech Supreme MS404333, a direct-fit control arm bushing replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It installs at the front lower forward position of the control arm. There it cushions the arm's pivot point and helps hold the arm in place as the suspension moves.
As the wheel moves over bumps and dips, a 2011-2019 Ford Explorer suspension control arm bushing flexes to absorb movement and road vibration. This helps limit how much of that vibration passes into the body. Over time, the rubber can wear, crack or separate. Signs that a control arm bushing may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, vague or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visibly cracked or torn rubber. These symptoms can also come from other suspension or steering parts, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything. If a worn bushing is the cause, the MS404333 replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
