Upper Control Arm with Urethane Bushings

The Steeda Heavy Duty Upper 3rd Link is engineered to provide enhanced axle control for lowered 2011-2014 Ford Mustangs, particularly those with sticky tires. It directly replaces the factory upper link, addressing torque deflection and the annoying wind-up and wheel-hop often experienced with the stock component. The reinforced aluminum plates offer high, aircraft-quality construction and are finished in a durable blue powdercoat. The kit includes a bump stop and necessary hardware for installation. The product includes a "Stepped Spacer Details" section, which addresses a specific fitment nuance. It explains that the chassis mount uses a 14mm bolt with a 16mm opening. While the OEM soft bushing accommodates this, aftermarket urethane bushings can transmit noise or clunk. The provided stepped spacer takes up this slop and eliminates noise, and it can be installed with aftermarket uppers that still use a 14mm bolt, even with smaller than 16mm bolt holes in chassis mounts. Important compatibility notes are provided: all Steeda Upper Third Links produced after February 2007 include the stepped spacers. Additionally, this specific upper third link (555-4098) is not compatible with Steeda's Upper Chassis Mount for 3rd Link (555-4027). The product is intended for use on lowered vehicles only; for stock or lowered applications, Steeda's 555-4097 is recommended. This part offers better handling, more stable cornering, and increased traction, contributing to lower 60-foot times, all while maintaining good ride quality.
