Detailed Description

Mevotech GS40462 is a suspension control arm bushing used in front upper control arm service on 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. The natural rubber material helps maintain the control arm’s pivoting function while reducing harshness transmitted through the suspension. For shoppers searching for a front upper control arm bushing for Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, or Mercury Mountaineer, this part number GS40462 matches the listed OE-style application requirements. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive suspension looseness at the control arm pivot point
• Clunking or knocking from worn front upper bushings
• Uneven tire wear related to bushing wear and alignment movement
• Steering wander caused by degraded control arm isolation
• Harsh ride feel from hardened or cracked rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front upper suspension configuration before ordering, since fitment is limited to the listed applications. Inspect the control arm, mounting points, and surrounding suspension components for wear before installation. Proper pressing and alignment procedures are important after bushing replacement to restore suspension geometry.
