Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and front left lower rearward position before installation. The 2016 Ford Fusion listing applies to vehicles with aluminum control arms. Because this is a bolt-on suspension component, inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting points for wear, corrosion, or damage before assembly. Verify that the mounting hole diameter, bracket orientation, and bushing dimensions match the original part before service.
