This suspension control arm bushing cushions the pivot point where the control arm meets the frame. It lets the arm move with suspension travel while helping to isolate road shock and noise from the cabin.
Signs a control arm bushing may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and rubber that is cracked, torn or separated. Worn ball joints, tie rods and other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Having the alignment checked after installation is recommended.
