A bushing is basically a flexible spacer. It sits between two parts, usually metal – on – metal, and it lets those parts move a little bit without rattling or binding. Think of it like a cushion – it absorbs vibration and impact. They’re usually made of rubber, polyurethane, or sometimes even bronze. They’re everywhere honestly. You'll find them in your suspension, connecting control arms and sway bars. They’re in your engine mounts, transmission mounts, even in parts of the steering system. Any place where you need to isolate movement or reduce noise, you’ll likely find a bushing. They allow movement where it’s supposed to happen, but prevent it where it shouldn’t. They act like a shield, protecting other parts from wear and tear. When bushings wear out – and they will, especially rubber ones – you’ll notice if you pay attention. You might start hearing clunking sounds over bumps, or feel more vibration in the steering wheel or the cabin. It can also cause imprecise handling, or even cause other parts to wear out faster because there’s nothing to dampen the movement. Worn bushings can create a chain reaction. Luckily, they're relatively inexpensive to replace, and places like Fixparts Online carry a wide selection, so you don't have to worry about a huge repair bill. Ignoring them though, will just lead to bigger problems down the road. Shop smarter: Bushing (MPN 823721553) is covered for 12 months!
