Control Arm Bushing

Control Arm Bushing

Control arm bushings are rubber or polyurethane components installed within control arms to cushion suspension movement and minimize metal-to-metal contact. They absorb shocks, reduce noise, and maintain proper wheel alignment. Over time, bushings wear out due to constant flexing, exposure to heat, and road contaminants. Symptoms of worn bushings include vibration, clunking noises, and poor handling. Replacing them restores suspension performance, improves ride comfort, and prolongs control arm life. Quality bushings are crucial for absorbing road impact, maintaining smooth steering response, and ensuring vehicle stability. They play a significant role in the overall durability and comfort of the suspension system.
