Description
Powerflex Front Control Arm Front / Rear Bushings (46.5 mm) for 1989–1996 Ford Fiesta (Mk3).
Function and design
A suspension arm bushing forms a controlled mounting point between the arm and its supporting structure. Compliance at that joint allows movement under load; the condition and construction of the bushing influence how consistently the arm locates the wheel.
What to consider
For a suspension refresh, replacing deteriorated mounting bushings addresses movement at the joint rather than changing the spring or damper rate. Final steering and handling behavior also depends on the remaining joints, tires and alignment.
Application
1989–1996 Ford Fiesta (Mk3).
Diameter confirmation
The product title specifies 46.5 mm, while manufacturer notes also refer to 46 mm for this part number. Confirm the exact original bushing and required replacement dimensions before ordering; the nearby 47 mm and 54 mm versions are different selections.
