Complete Your 2016 Ford Taurus Lateral Link Job with the Right Tools and Parts

When you’re diving into the maintenance or replacement of lateral links, it’s good to have a few related products on hand. First off, don’t forget about new bushings or bolts—these often come into play since old ones can wear out, leading to a bumpy ride or even unsafe handling. A torque wrench is also a must-have tool to ensure those bolts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specs. While you’re at it, grab some penetrating oil to help loosen stubborn bolts that have rusted or seized over time. As always, prioritize safety by wearing gloves and safety goggles, and consider using jack stands or ramps to secure your vehicle properly before getting underneath it. Proper preparation not only makes the task easier but also protects you while you work!

Lateral Links for Your 2016 Ford Taurus

Dorman – Suspension Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (OE Fix) (Part No.527-168)

Suspension Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (OE Fix)

from

$99.99
The factory rear suspension control arm toe compensator link on certain Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT vehicles can fail when the welds on the link’s threaded shaft ends fracture. A fracture of this rear lateral link significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. This Dorman OE FIX rear lateral link has been designed as an alternative to the factory design, and as a potentially more permanent suspension repair that could reduce long-term repair costs and offer more predictable vehicle handling. This lateral link includes features intended to address potential failure points in the original equipment design. Our design reduces the possibility of lateral link fracture and failure by replacing the original link’s welded threaded shaft ends with ends that are solid, one-piece steel castings. To further increase resistance to fractures and help improve suspension load distribution, both of the threaded, cast shaft ends are 18mm in diameter instead of the 14mm diameter shaft ends on the factory design.

Product Features:
  • Smart fix – this lateral link is designed to reduce the possibility of a weld fracture that can affect steering control, and to improve suspension load distribution on select Ford and Lincoln vehicles
  • Sturdy design – features 18mm diameter threaded shafts on solid 1-piece castings, rather than the 14mm diameter, welded 2-piece design of the factory link
  • Rigorously tested – has undergone material and fine element analysis to ensure durability
  • Trustworthy quality – backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience
