Product Details

This Dorman suspension control arm bushing kit is precision-engineered to replace the original equipment bushing on select front upper control arm applications. The rubber isolator and steel shell construction are selected to restore the connection point between the control arm and suspension structure, helping maintain proper joint movement under load. If you are servicing a 1997-2003 Ford F-150 front upper suspension, a 1997-2002 Ford Expedition front upper suspension, a 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator front upper suspension, or a 1997-1999 Ford F-250 front upper suspension, Dorman 537-080 is built for that application. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K8721 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Clunking or knocking from worn front upper control arm bushings
• Excessive suspension play at the control arm mounting point
• Uneven tire wear related to bushing wear and alignment instability
• Steering looseness caused by deteriorated rubber isolation
• Suspension noise from cracked, hardened, or separated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front upper position before installation. Inspect the control arm and surrounding mounting surfaces for wear, corrosion, or damage before pressing in the new bushings. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace related fasteners as needed during service. Confirm alignment after suspension work is completed, especially on Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator front upper applications.

Quality Assurance

Dorman tests this replacement bushing kit for fit and function against the original equipment application on specific vehicles. The part is built as a standard replacement for service use on the listed Ford and Lincoln front upper suspension applications.
