What It Helps Fix

• Uneven tire wear caused by deteriorated bushing support

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the control arm and surrounding suspension components before installation. Press-fit bushing service typically requires proper suspension tools and attention to bushing orientation, alignment, and seating depth. Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and front lower position before beginning the repair. For Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Grand Am, and related applications, confirm the original bushing dimensions match the replacement part.
