- Helps isolate vibration within the cabin
- Reduces friction between metal components
- Can deteriorate over time from exposure to the elements
The Bushing in your vehicle plays an extremely important role within your suspension system. This component, manufactured using polyurethane, rubber, or other materials, enables important car parts to run without causing vibrations within your INFINITI's cabin. Consider bushings as the joints of your car's components.
A Bushing not only minimizes vibration within the cabin, but it also provides cushioning between parts and helps to eliminate friction between metal components.
Because a Bushing is designed with flexibles materials, it might inevitably start to break down and degenerate with time. When a Bushing becomes faulty, this can be caused by many different things. Extreme heat or brutal weather conditions can speed up deterioration. Dry rot, which causes shrinking, stiffening, breaking, and toughening of the component, can occur from exposure to the elements. Leaking oil may also cause them to soften. Despite there not being a defined service interval for bushings, it's important that you replace a failing one.
Since the primary function of your Bushing is to eliminate friction between metal car parts and control vibrations, when your Bushing has gone bad or begun to fail, you'll eventually notice. Your car will likely start to rattle whenever you encounter bumps or uneven roads, your steering wheel might feel overly slack when turning, you'll likely hear more roadway noise and experience vibrations inside your car's cabin, and you might also hear creaky sounds or knocking noises coming from your wheel fenders.
There are a lot of bushings inside your INFINITI, which can make it tricky to pinpoint which one may need servicing. If you notice any of the issues above, you might need to get your INFINITI inspected by an authorized INFINITI service center location instead of attempting to complete the installation at home.
Buying the appropriate Bushing is vital for you and your INFINITI's road safety. Ensure that you get the right kind by purchasing OEM components at INFINITI Parts.
This Bushing is designed for the INFINITI 350Z 2003-2009. Get more fitment information about this Bushing, part number 56219AL500, on the What This Fits tab.
