Product Details
This Whiteline Front Sway Bar Link Bushing (21mm OD) fits the 1988-1996 Mercury Tracer Base. Placement: front. Chassis code: BF/B3. Whiteline part number: W21169. In the box: 8 bushings. The listing names the Base trim.
Sway bar link bushings are small but busy, flexing every time the suspension moves. Rubber that has cracked or flattened lets the link rattle and the bar lose its grip on the suspension. A new set puts the link ends back into a snug fit. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as easy and lists about 1 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Tracer: 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Washer Kit.
Features
- Force transfer: Passes force between suspension parts more directly, so the bar works sooner.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Firmer than rubber: A firmer synthetic elastomer takes the place of soft factory rubber.
- Less play: Takes movement and play out of the linkage for sharper handling.
- Durability: Resists wear, heat, oil, and weather for daily and spirited driving.
- Steering feel: A more solid, consistent connection improves steering precision and road feedback.
