Key Features

• Suspension control arm bushing for rear upper forward placement
• Direct fit for select 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and Ford Explorer Sport Trac applications

Detailed Description

TRW JBU833 is a suspension control arm bushing used in the rear upper forward position on compatible Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer models. This bushing helps restore the connection point between the control arm and suspension mounting structure, supporting proper alignment and controlled suspension movement. If you are servicing a 2002-2005 Ford Explorer rear upper forward bushing or replacing a worn bushing on a 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, JBU833 is the correct part number to verify against the vehicle application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Excessive play in the control arm mounting point
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement
• Loose or unstable rear suspension feel
• Alignment issues caused by worn bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear upper forward position before ordering, since this bushing is application-specific. Inspect the surrounding control arm components, fasteners, and mounting points for wear or damage during service. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment are recommended after suspension bushing replacement.

Quality Assurance

TRW is a recognized OE supplier in steering and suspension components, and JBU833 is cataloged for the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury fitments. Confirm year, model, and suspension position against the vehicle before installation.
