This Dorman suspension control arm bushing is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested to serve as a dependable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
A control arm bushing lets the arm pivot as the suspension travels while helping to limit unwanted movement and dampen vibration. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or vague steering, uneven tire wear, and a visibly cracked or worn bushing. If a worn bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. A wheel alignment check after suspension work is good practice.
