What it does
Bushings cushion the joints between suspension parts and the body. 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

- Alignment: New bushings can shift alignment.
- 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.
