Key Features & Benefits

These little rubber and metal parts connect your control arm to the vehicle’s frame. They allow for movement, like going over bumps, but also keep everything aligned and stable. Think of them as pivots – they let things move where they’re supposed to, but not too much. They dampen vibrations, too, so you don’t feel every little pebble in the road. It’s part of your suspension system, which is a big deal for handling and ride comfort. Specifically, it connects the wheel to the chassis. When your wheel goes up and down, the control arm moves with it, and the bushing is what allows that movement while keeping the wheel properly positioned. It’s really a key part in keeping your tires making good contact with the road. It works with other suspension components – ball joints, struts, everything.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Worn bushings cause a lot of problems. They’ll affect your steering – you might feel wandering, looseness, or vibrations. You’ll notice if your car doesn’t feel as stable, especially at highway speeds. It also messes with your alignment, so your tires wear unevenly and you’ll be back in the shop more often. Basically, they act like a shield against road shock, but that shield wears down over time. If they get too deteriorated, you'll have clunking noises, especially when going over bumps. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and replacing them restores your steering precision and gives you a smoother, safer ride.
