Product Details
Owners of the 1984-1993 Ford Mustang LX can fit the Whiteline Front Lower Inner Control Arm Bushing. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The part number is W53503. Whiteline's note for this fit: Exclude HD suspension. It is listed for the Fox chassis. In the box: 2 shell bushings, 2 tubes, and grease. Trim named on the listing: LX.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect a difficult job of about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Mustang, see Front Sway Bar Link Kit, Front Lower Ball Joint, and Rear Upper Control Arms.
Features
- Bonded design: The bushing is bonded for extra strength under heavy loads.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Compliance voids: Molded voids give the bushing room to flex where it needs to.
