Front Control Arms

[BLACKMARAUDER04]

I went to get a alignment Saturday. They told be the rear bushing on the front lower control arms are bad. Can we get just the bushing? Dealer quoted $378 for new contol arm.

$370 each or for both front ones?

$188 for Mevotech brand. I would spend more on a better brand like Moog.

However, good news. I found the bushing by itself.

Tasca doesn't list that part either. If it weren't for 1 knowledgeable person at a Lincoln dealership, I would have had to buy the whole control arm.
Tasca's price on that is awesome.

This part is only good for the 2004 Marauders. The 2003 has to use the larger expensive $370.00 each lower front control arms.

I have a pair of the stamped steel lower control arms. I do not know if they fit the crossmember. The part number is different for 2006 and up.
