Importance of SUSPENSION BUSHES in a car
2
The suspension bushes are a critical component of
the car with respect to safety, ride comfort and
handling.
3
They are used to position and align the
suspension and steering components such as shock
absorbers, sway bars, and control arms.
4
The suspension bushes are used to connect the
various moving arms and pivot joints to the
chassis and other parts of the suspension.
5
These are designed to stand the torsional
pressure of the vehicles.
6
The suspension bushes are made by using
high-quality rubber that is securely bonded
between inner and outer metal to give maximum
axial, radial and torsional stiffness.

Importance of bushes
8
Even the hard bushes absorb the road shocks and
enhance comfort as well as reduce noise and
vibration.
9
Bushes need to be maintained in optimum condition
as worn out bushes can cause rapid tire wire and
wandering steering
10
For proper working, a bush must be able to
compress to a precise degree and then return to
its original position for better handling and
safety.
11
They are made from a number of materials like
rubber urethane depending on its application
like response characteristics, noise, and
durability.
12
The bushings often take the form of a strong
rubbery washer through which the suspension
components pass and stay connected.
13
Functions of bushes
14
The rubber suspension bushings provide the
cushion to the entire body of a car.
15
It minimizes the effects of jerks induced by
rough terrains or a potholed road.
16
It provides stability to the car while on move
and that results in improved performance and the
tires are in greater contact with the road at all
times.
17
It anchors the balance between steering and tires
and prevents adverse effects on the overall
alignment of the car.
18
Problems due to worn suspension bushings
19
There is clicking or snapping sound while
turning the wheels and a squeaking sound whenever
the car halts or the steering wheel moves.
20
A significant shift is observed in the car's
steering alignment which causes the steering to
pull to one side.
21
While going over bumps or a rough road, knocking
and clunking noises coming from the suspensions.
22
The worn bushings cause vibrations in the
steering wheel and that increases during
acceleration.
23
You may also experience braking problems as the
front end oscillates forward even after hard
brakes are applied.
