How ST-3966 Supports Suspension Performance
This coil spring insulator is designed for the rear upper suspension location on Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz models. By separating metal contact points and helping the suspension rotate as intended, ST-3966 supports steering response, helps limit uneven tire and component wear, and reduces vibration transfer into the cabin. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 903966) for the same application.
What This Part Helps Address
- Clunking or squeaking from the rear upper suspension area
- Excess road noise entering the vehicle
- Vibration felt through the body or chassis
- Wear caused by direct metal-to-metal contact at the spring seat
- Suspension movement that is no longer isolated properly
