The Silent Heroes of Your Suspension: Why Bushings Matter
While ball joints and springs get all the attention, your suspension bushings and grommets are the unsung heroes of your chassis. These rubber cushions isolate the metal components of your suspension, absorbing road vibration and allowing for necessary flexibility during cornering and braking.
Symptoms of Failed Bushings
Squeaking & Creaking: The most common sign of dried-out rubber.
Clunking: Indicates the rubber has disintegrated, leaving metal hitting metal.
Unstable Braking: Worn strut rod bushings or control arm bushings can cause the car to pull to one side or "dive" excessively when stopping.
NOS, NORS vs. Modern Reproductions Many restorers prefer our NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) bushings because they use high-quality rubber compounds manufactured in the USA. These parts are designed to last for decades, resisting oil, ozone, and road grime better than budget aftermarket options.
Comprehensive Catalog Our inventory covers every rubber component under your chassis:
Front End: Upper and lower control arm bushings, strut rod bushings.
