Detailed Description

Mevotech CMS40134 is a suspension lateral arm engineered for the rear lower forward location on 1995 Ford Contour and 1995 Mercury Mystique vehicles built to 12/5/1994. The stamped steel body provides a rigid replacement structure, while the included natural rubber bushings help maintain controlled suspension articulation and reduce unwanted movement at the mounting points. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers F5RZ5500B and XS8Z5500AA for the same application. Mevotech CMS40134 is a direct-fit service part for drivers addressing wear in the rear suspension of these Ford and Mercury models.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Rear suspension noise from worn bushings
• Excessive play in the rear lower forward arm mounting points
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement
• Handling instability caused by a fatigued lateral arm
• Corrosion or structural wear on the original arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle build date before ordering, since this part fits 1995 Ford Contour and 1995 Mercury Mystique only when built to 12/5/1994. Confirm the rear lower forward suspension position and compare the original arm dimensions and OE references before installation. Because the arm is non-adjustable, proper alignment checks after replacement are recommended to restore suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech supplies suspension replacement components for OE-style service applications, and CMS40134 is built with stamped steel construction, corrosion-resistant finishing, and included bushings for a complete arm assembly replacement. Compatible with 1995 Ford Contour, rear lower forward, and 1995 Mercury Mystique, rear lower forward.
