Ford Fusion — a typical rear suspension issue: spring arm silent blocks
A typical rear suspension issue of the 2013 Ford Fusion is rapid wear of silent blocks. This problem manifests itself as knocking noises when driving on uneven roads, reduced steering precision, and premature wear of other suspension components. Installing polyurethane alternatives for the control arm helps eliminate these shortcomings, ensuring reliable and stable vehicle operation.
A specific feature of the 2013 Ford Fusion is that the standard rubber silent blocks of the spring arm are prone to rapid aging due to temperature fluctuations and intensive use on uneven road surfaces. This leads to the appearance of play, which negatively affects steering accuracy and increases the load on shock absorbers and lower control arms. The use of polyurethane alternatives helps maintain stable chassis geometry and extend the service life of other components, ensuring comfortable driving for many years.
What are rubber-metal bushings?
Silent blocks are special chassis components made of rubber or polyurethane that act as dampers between metal parts of the vehicle. The main function of silent blocks is to absorb vibrations, reduce noise, and ensure smooth ride quality. They also maintain proper suspension geometry and reduce loads on joints and control arms, preventing premature wear of other components.
The main functions include absorbing impacts and vibrations when driving on uneven roads; reducing noise and vibrations inside the cabin; maintaining stable suspension geometry and steering precision; reducing loads on shock absorbers, joints, and control arms.
On the 2013 Ford Fusion, standard rubber silent blocks of the spring arm deform and crack over time, leading to knocking noises, play, and reduced handling stability. Vehicle owners who operate their cars on uneven road surfaces most often encounter this issue.

Rear spring arm silent block replacing the floating type — pp1689 — GS7Z5500N; GS7Z5500P — is an alternative to the standard floating element. It ensures effective load transfer and maintains proper suspension geometry. Replacement is recommended at the first signs of wear or when extraneous noises appear during driving.
Installation and operating features
Installation of polyurethane bushings for the rear spring arm and lower control arm helps maintain driving comfort, safety, and steering precision for many years while reducing the need for repeated repairs.
The parts are made of three-component hot-curing polyurethane and have stiffness comparable to original rubber bushings. As a result, the vehicle remains soft and comfortable to drive, while the suspension becomes more stable and cohesive. This balance of precision and comfort ensures optimal vehicle behavior on all road types.
Installation does not require complex equipment; however, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid deformation. Regular suspension inspections are recommended, especially after driving on uneven roads or in harsh climatic conditions.
