Motorcraft MEF184 Link

Motorcraft Suspension Links are engineered to meet strict Ford O.E. quality, performance, and durability standards, undergoing demanding tests including Key Life testing equivalent to 10 years or 150,000 miles for passenger cars and light trucks.

• Performance tested for breakaway, oscillating, and rotating torque, boot seal leakage, fatigue life, ultimate compression and tensile strength, and stud pull-out.
• Recommended by Ford Motor Company for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
• Key component in vehicles with multi-link independent suspension, typically using three or more lateral control arms and one or more longitudinal arms.
• Each arm connects to the wheel at one end and a vehicle anchor point at the opposite end.
• Arm ends typically feature a spherical joint (ball joint) or rubber bushing.
• Reacts to loads along their length in tension and compression, not in bending.
• Some multi-links use a trailing arm or wishbone with two bushings at one end.
• On front suspensions, one lateral arm is replaced by the tie-rod, connecting the rack or steering box to the wheel hub.
• For solid axle vehicles, multi-link suspension provides axle control during suspension cycling.
• Common design is the four-link with panhard bar found in many cars and pickup trucks.
• Manufactured to exacting Ford OE specifications and quality standards.
• Includes engineering innovations or product improvements developed since the vehicle's manufacture, ensuring the most current technology.
