Suspension Stabilizer Bar Bushing
Sway bar bushings are typically made of rubber or polyurethane and provide a soft mount for the stabilizer bar to the undercarriage of the vehicle. Allowing for the bushing to absorb and soften the articulation of the bar and the end link connections to the rest of the suspension. Over time, these bushings will deteriorate and crack causing additional wear and increased NVH. Sway bar bushings reduce friction and noise by separating the sway bar from the vehicle’s body or frame.

Suspension Stabilizer Bar Bushing Failure Symptoms
NVH: Signs of worn-out sway bar bushings include squeaking, rattling, or clunking noises, especially when driving over bumps or around corners.
Steering Response: A worn-out bushing can also cause the steering wheel to feel loose or unresponsive, or the car to pull to one side while driving.
