Mercury Bobcat Control Arm Bushing

The bushing that connects each front arm to the frame is a Mercury Bobcat Control Arm Bushing. This allows for an even suspension pivot while filtering vibration for more steady steering. Control arms attach the suspension and wheels to the chassis. A Control Arm Bushing links the control arm to the frame of the vehicle. Control Arm Bushing ensures optimal suspension and wheel alignment for a safe and smooth ride. Throughout the Mercury production years, early Bobcat models utilized rubber Control Arm Bushing units. While these units gave a quiet ride at a low cost, rubber does age and crack over time. Therefore, later Bobcat owners and modern Mercury drivers usually opt for a tougher polyurethane or synthetic elastomer version. These will limit deflection and resist heat, so they won't cause misalignment under more severe loads. A damaged Control Arm Bushing, regardless of its material, can affect the wheel geometry, cause clunks, and accelerate tire wear. Thus, replacement is essential. The supporting arms themselves evolved from a stamped steel, subject to rust, to a cast or lightweight aluminum. But every upgrade still depends on the correctly paired Control Arm Bushing to preserve the Mercury engineers' precise ride and handling characteristics in the lively Bobcat.

    The lower control arm has to be replaced in it's entirely if the inboard pivot bushings are worn out or if the balljoint has become worn or damaged or if the balljoint seal has blown. New bushings can be fitted to the upper control arm but here one will require the services of the press and special tools hence it is advisable to consult your Ford dealer.
