Consumer Description

WHEN THIS BUSHING FAILS IT AFFECTS THE STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE EXPLORER AND MIGHT BE A CAUSE OF THE FIRESTONE TIRE FAILERS (WARE AND HEATING OF TIRES). I HAVE BEEN CHECKING OTHER EXPLORERS AND HAVE FOUND THAT ALMOST HALF OF THE EXPLORERS I HAVE SEEN SHOW VISABLE SIGNS OF THIS BUSHING BEING EXCESSIVELY WORN. THE RIGHT SIDE BUSHING IS NEXT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT.
