What This Bushing Helps Address

• Front suspension looseness or excess movement at the control arm
• Clunking or knocking from worn bonded rubber bushings
• Steering response that feels less precise over bumps and turns
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension bushing wear
• Vibration transfer into the chassis from deteriorated rubber-metal mounts

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the OE number, position, and control arm orientation before ordering. This part is listed for specific front right, front rearward, and front forward applications, so matching the vehicle configuration is essential for correct installation. Inspect the control arm and surrounding suspension components for wear before replacing the bushing.
