Control Arm Bushing

What is a Control Arm Bushing?

Control arms connect the car’s frame to the steering knuckles, which the tires and wheels are mounted on. as you go over bumps and potholes, the control arms pivot, allowing the wheels to move vertically.Between the control arms and the car body are control arm bushings. These allow the control arm to move without excessive friction and help reduce vibration and noise. Typically, control arm bushings have a metal sleeve surrounded by rubber or polyurethane padding.
Large bolt or pin goes through the center of the bushing to secure the control arm to the frame.

Each control arm usually has two bushings, one at each point where the arm mounts to the frame. Many front suspensions, as well as some rear suspensions, use control arms and bushings.
