Locate the rear strut rod and soak up road vibration with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Strut Rod Bushing Kit MK8649. This suspension strut rod bushing kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear suspension on a range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars, including the 1981-1990 Ford Escort, 1986-2006 Ford Taurus, 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1988-1994 Lincoln Continental and 1986-2005 Mercury Sable.
Strut rod bushings cushion the strut rod where it mounts to the chassis, isolating vibration and helping hold the rod in position so suspension alignment stays where it belongs. When the original rubber cracks, softens or separates you may notice clunking, rattling, or excess movement over bumps — signs these bushings may need replacing.
- High-grade natural rubber construction for increased durability
- OE-quality fit and performance
- Rear suspension application — installs in the rear strut rod bushing location
