Febi 01427 Spring Bushing with Lubrication Groove

Key Features & Benefits

This little rubber bushing basically connects your coil spring to the vehicle’s chassis. It lets the spring compress and rebound—do its job—without the metal parts clanging together. That groove you see? It’s designed to hold grease, which keeps things moving smoothly and quietly. It's a simple part, but it does a couple of key things. Think of it as a cushion between the spring and the car’s frame. It absorbs some of the impact from bumps in the road. It also helps keep the spring properly aligned, preventing it from shifting around and potentially damaging other components. It's part of what keeps your ride comfortable and predictable.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good spring bushing, you’ll get a lot of noise – clunks and rattles especially over bumps. It also means more stress on other suspension parts, potentially leading to premature wear and tear. A worn bushing can cause vibrations you feel in the steering wheel or even affect how the car handles. It really acts like a shield protecting those more expensive components. You’ll notice if one goes bad—generally a noticeable banging sound or a rough ride. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to replace it yourself, and they’re pretty straightforward to change on most vehicles.
