Description

The Corteco 80004732 Control Arm Bushing is a vital component of a vehicle's suspension system. It's designed to connect the control arm to the vehicle's chassis, allowing for controlled movement while absorbing vibrations and impacts. This bushing is crucial for maintaining proper wheel alignment and steering precision. With dimensions of 60 x 60 x 82 mm and manufactured in China, this bushing significantly improves ride quality and handling characteristics by minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness. It ensures a comfortable and safe driving experience by contributing to the overall stability and control of the vehicle.

Key Features & Benefits

These are basically rubber or polyurethane cushions that sit between the control arm of your suspension and the vehicle’s frame. They allow for movement – up and down with the bumps in the road – but they also keep things from rattling around and control where the wheel goes. They dampen vibrations too, so it’s a smoother ride. Think of it like this: the control arm is what connects the wheel to the body of the car. The bushing is the point where that arm pivots. It lets the suspension move up and down, absorbing impacts, but it also keeps everything lined up properly. It’s a crucial part of maintaining wheel alignment and steering control. Without them, you'd have a pretty rough ride and a hard time keeping the car going straight.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

When these bushings wear out, which they will do over time, you’ll start to notice things. You’ll notice if your steering feels loose or wanders, or if you get vibrations through the steering wheel. It can also cause uneven tire wear because the alignment is constantly shifting. Basically, worn bushings make your car handle poorly and can even become a safety issue. They aren’t a huge repair usually, but ignoring them can lead to bigger problems with other suspension components. A good place to find these, by the way, is Fixparts Online – they usually have a good selection and competitive prices. It’s one of those things that’s best to address before it becomes a serious issue.
