Mevotech Supreme Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:MS30497
Help your rear suspension stay properly located with the Mevotech Supreme Control Arm Bushing, part number MK6178, a replacement bushing for the rear lower control arm made from high grade natural rubber. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A control arm bushing is the flexible pivot between the control arm and its mounting point on the chassis. It lets the arm move with the suspension while helping absorb road shock and limit unwanted arm movement. Over time the rubber can crack, tear or separate, which can allow extra play in the rear suspension.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking from the rear over bumps, a loose or wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or visibly cracked rubber. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the suspension before replacing parts.
