What it does

Worn end links and bushings cause clunks over bumps. Worn suspension and steering parts show up as clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear and a vague feel; fresh parts restore control, and performance parts sharpen it.

Installation & tips

  • Fit new end links and bushings with a new bar, and tighten links with the car at ride height.
  • End links: Worn links clunk.
  • Bushings: Fresh bushings stop squeaks.
  • This part affects how the vehicle stops, steers or holds the road. If you are not sure how to fit it, have it installed or checked by a qualified mechanic.
