J&M Wide Toe Link Bearing Kit for 2015+ Ford Mustang IRS - Part #41561
Made in the USA by J&M Products
The J&M Wide Knuckle-to-Toe-Link Bearing Assembly (41561) is a direct performance upgrade for 2015+ Ford Mustang models with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS), including S550 and S650 platforms (GT, EcoBoost, Dark Horse, Mach 1, and more). This wide version matches the width of the popular Ford Performance M-5A460-M bearing assembly.
It replaces the factory rubber toe link bushing in the rear knuckle with a high-performance sealed spherical bearing, eliminating suspension compliance for sharper, more precise handling during hard acceleration, power-down exits, and aggressive cornering - while keeping street-friendly ride quality.
Key Advantages Over OEM-Style Alternatives (like Ford Performance M-5A460-M)
- Zinc nickel plating delivers outstanding corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh conditions, superior to standard finishes.
- Proprietary liner material resists wear significantly better than the Delrin-lined bushings found in competitive products; Delrin can degrade quickly under high loads, heat, or repeated stress, causing play, noise, or lost precision.
Benefits
- Dramatically enhances rear stability, traction, and responsiveness.
- Reduces deflection in the toe link for improved cornering and power delivery.
- Ideal for street performance, track days, or enthusiasts wanting a direct, connected feel with minimal added NVH.
- Sold as a pair (left and right) for complete installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a Ford Performance M-5A460-M bearing?
It's sized to match the M-5A460-M's width but uses zinc nickel plating and J&M's proprietary liner material instead of standard finishes and Delrin, for better corrosion resistance and wear life.
Do I need one or two of these?
It's sold as a pair, covering both rear knuckles.
