Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1991-2002 Ford Escort. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: W51263. Included: 2 bushings and 2 tubes.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Escort: 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front Sway Bar Washer Kit, and Front Sway Bar Link Bushing (21mm OD).
