Product Description

Mevotech MS40450 is a suspension control arm bushing for vehicles that use a front rearward bushing location in the control arm assembly. The natural rubber material helps maintain the original suspension feel while providing the correct dimensions for service on Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, and Mercury Cougar models listed above. If you are replacing a worn Ford Contour front rearward control arm bushing or servicing a Mercury Cougar 2-bolt mounted arm, this part number provides a direct-fit repair option.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive control arm movement
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension bushings
• Loose or vague steering response
• Cracked, dry-rotted, or separated rubber bushings

Installation Notes

Install in the front rearward control arm position only. Verify the arm style and bushing dimensions before pressing the old bushing out and installing the new one. On 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar applications, confirm the 2-bolt mounted arm configuration before ordering. Professional suspension service tools are typically required for bushing replacement.
