Quiet down front-end clunks and restore precise fore-and-aft control arm location with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Strut Rod Bushing Kit MK8659. This suspension strut rod bushing kit mounts in the front-to-frame position, cushioning the strut (tension) rod where it ties into the frame and helping isolate road vibration while limiting rod movement. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird, 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, and 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • High-grade natural rubber construction: built for increased durability under repeated suspension loading.
  • OE-quality fit and performance: designed to match the original bushing's function on the listed applications.
  • Front-to-frame position: locates the strut rod at the frame to help control fore-and-aft arm movement and dampen vibration.

Worn strut rod bushings can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, imprecise steering feel, or uneven tire wear. If failed bushings are the cause, this kit replaces them. Bushings wear on both sides — inspect and replace as a matched set for balanced handling.
