Superpro Front Control Arm Lower-Inner Bushing Kit
Fitment: 1988 Ford Festiva
Part #: SPF1318K
Overview
The SuperPro Front Control Arm Lower-Inner Bushing Kit is a high-quality replacement component designed specifically for the 1988 Ford Festiva. This kit is intended for enthusiasts and DIY mechanics seeking to restore optimal suspension performance and handling characteristics. Over time, rubber bushings in the control arm can deteriorate due to age, exposure to elements, and regular driving stresses, leading to compromised steering response, uneven tire wear, and reduced vehicle stability. Replacing these worn components with durable, engineered bushings helps maintain proper suspension geometry and enhances overall driving confidence.
This kit is ideal for those looking to improve their vehicle’s handling precision, ride comfort, and steering feel. It provides a cost-effective solution to restore factory-like performance and extend the lifespan of your suspension system, ensuring your Ford Festiva remains responsive and predictable on the road.

Construction & Design
The bushings are crafted from high-grade polyurethane, offering a superior balance of flexibility and strength compared to traditional rubber. The design ensures a precise fit within the control arm, with a focus on longevity and resistance to environmental factors such as oil, dirt, and moisture. The robust construction helps absorb road shocks and vibrations, contributing to a smoother ride and more responsive steering.
Installation & Fitment
Installation involves removing the worn bushings from the control arm and pressing in the new polyurethane components. While the process is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills, it is recommended to use proper tools for pressing and alignment to ensure correct fitment. Fitment should be verified against the vehicle’s specifications and the part number provided.
What’s Included
The kit includes all necessary bushings required to replace both lower-inner control arm bushings on the front suspension of your 1988 Ford Festiva. Hardware or additional components are not included and may need to be sourced separately.
