Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion (CD3). Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is W53396. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
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 2.5 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list Front Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar, and Rear Sway Bar Link (80-320mm Length) for the Fusion.
Features
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Easy to fit: Designed so the install needs no specialized skills or tools.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
