  • Wall thickness measures 0.223 in. with a length of 5.85 in.
  • Mounting hardware included for installation convenience

Detailed Description

This suspension control arm bushing is engineered for vehicles that use a multiple-piece design at the front lower to frame mounting point. The natural rubber material helps absorb road vibration and supports the control arm as it pivots through suspension travel. Mevotech GK8612 is a direct-fit service part for 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1984-1994 Mercury Topaz, 1984-1990 Ford Escort, and 1984-1987 Mercury Lynx.

For buyers searching for a Ford Tempo front lower to frame control arm bushing or a Mercury Topaz suspension bushing replacement, GK8612 provides the dimensional and application match needed for service work. The part number GK8612 is also commonly referenced in interchange listings for related chassis repair applications.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

  • Excessive suspension looseness at the control arm mounting point
  • Clunking or knocking from worn front lower bushings
  • Uneven control arm movement caused by deteriorated rubber
  • Road vibration transferred through the suspension
  • Alignment instability related to worn bushing material

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front lower to frame position and compare the original bushing dimensions before installation. This application uses a multiple-piece design, so inspect the control arm and surrounding mounting surfaces for wear, corrosion, or deformation before pressing in the new bushing. Confirm fitment against the vehicle year, make, and model before service.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech suspension components are built for chassis service applications with attention to fit and material selection. GK8612 uses natural rubber construction and includes the mounting hardware specified in the product data.
