A control arm bushing is the flexible pivot between the control arm and its mounting point on the vehicle. It lets the arm move with the suspension while helping absorb road vibration and keep alignment settings where they belong. Signs that a bushing may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, vibration, and uneven tire wear. If a worn bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
