The only parts recommended by Ford Motor Company for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.The Motorcraft Suspension Link is a key component in vehicles equipped with multi-link, independent suspension - a design that typically uses three or more lateral control arms, and one or more longitudinal arms, each arm connected (or linked) to the wheel at one end and a vehicle anchor point at the opposite end.Normally, each arm end has a spherical joint (ball joint) or rubber bushing at each end. Consequently they react to loads along their length, in tension and compression, but not in bending. Some multi-links do use a trailing arm or wishbone, which has two bushings at one end.On a front suspension one of the lateral arms is replaced by the tie-rod, which connects the rack or steering box to the wheel hub.For a solid axle vehicle, the multi-link suspension provides control of the axle during suspension cycling. The most common design is the four-link with panhard bar found in many cars and pickup trucks.Motorcraft Suspension Links are manufactured to exacting Ford OE specifications and quality standards.As with all Motorcraft aftermarket parts, any engineering innovations or product improvements developed since the vehicle's manufacture are added to these Links, ensuring the most current technology.
