Product Details

This part number, K201688, is listed for 2012 Ford Focus models built from 4/4/12 and for 2013-2017 Ford Focus applications in the same rear lower outer rearward position.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings

• Uneven rear suspension response caused by deteriorated rubber
• Loss of alignment stability related to bushing wear
• Road vibration transfer through the rear suspension assembly
