Control Arm Bushing: Description and Operation

FRONT SUSPENSION

BUSHINGS
DESCRIPTION
Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
