MOOG 09-12 Ford Escape Rear To Frame Sway Bar Bushing

When you're tackling a suspension rebuild on your 2009-2012 Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner, replacing the rear sway bar bushings is a smart move. These bushings are key to keeping your vehicle stable during turns by connecting the sway bar to the frame. Worn-out bushings can lead to noticeable body roll, clunks, and a less connected feel from your steering.

Moog uses a high-quality natural rubber for these bushings, which is chosen for its ability to handle the daily grind of road salt, grime, and oils without breaking down. This material is less likely to split or crack over time compared to lesser options, meaning you get a longer service life out of them. Moog also puts these parts through rigorous testing to ensure they perform as expected, helping to quiet down operation and resist wear.

Swapping these out is a pretty straightforward job for most DIYers, often just requiring you to unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones in place. It's a small part that makes a big difference in how your vehicle handles corners.
