The suspension system of your car plays a vital role in providing you with a comfortable ride. The suspension system consists of various components, which work together for the effective functioning of the whole system. The suspension bushes are one such component, which is used to position and align the suspension and steering components like the shock absorbers, sway bars, and control arms. Go through the slide to know the importance of suspension bushes in a car.

1. Importance of
SUSPENSION
BUSHES
in a car

2. The suspension bushes are a
critical component of the car
with respect to safety, ride
comfort and handling.

3. They are used to position and
align the suspension and steering
components such as shock
absorbers, sway bars, and control
arms.

4. The suspension bushes are used
to connect the various moving
arms and pivot joints to the
chassis and other parts of the
suspension.

5. These are designed to stand the
torsional pressure of the vehicles.

6. The suspension bushes are made
by using high-quality rubber that
is securely bonded between inner
and outer metal to give maximum
axial, radial and torsional
stiffness.

8. Even the hard bushes absorb the
road shocks and enhance comfort
as well as reduce noise and
vibration.

9. Bushes need to be maintained in
optimum condition as worn out
bushes can cause rapid tire wire
and wandering steering

10. For proper working, a bush must
be able to compress to a precise
degree and then return to its
original position for better
handling and safety.

11. They are made from a number of
materials like rubber & urethane
depending on its application like
response characteristics, noise,
and durability.

12. The bushings often take the form
of a strong rubbery washer
through which the suspension
components pass and stay
connected.

14. The rubber suspension bushings
provide the cushion to the entire
body of a car.

15. It minimizes the effects of jerks
induced by rough terrains or a
potholed road.

16. It provides stability to the car
while on move and that results in
improved performance and the
tires are in greater contact with
the road at all times.

17. It anchors the balance between
steering and tires and prevents
adverse effects on the overall
alignment of the car.

19. There is clicking or snapping
sound while turning the wheels
and a squeaking sound whenever
the car halts or the steering
wheel moves.

20. A significant shift is observed in
the car's steering alignment
which causes the steering to pull
to one side.

21. While going over bumps or a
rough road, knocking and
clunking noises coming from the
suspensions.

22. The worn bushings cause
vibrations in the steering wheel
and that increases during
acceleration.

23. You may also experience braking
problems as the front end
oscillates forward even after hard
brakes are applied.
