- 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 a very significant role in your INFINITI's suspension system. This component, manufactured using polyurethane, rubber, or other materials, allows essential car parts to run without vibrating the cabin of your INFINITI. Think of bushings as the joints of your ride's many components.
The Bushing not only inhibits potential vibrations within your vehicle's cabin, but it also cushions parts and reduces friction between metal components.
Because a Bushing is produced using pliable materials, it might inevitably start to break down and degenerate over time. Often, when a Bushing becomes faulty, the cause can be the result of many different things. Extreme heat or intense weather conditions can speed up deterioration. Dry rot which leads to shrinkage, stiffening, breaking, and toughening of the component, can happen due to exposure to the elements. Contact with leaking oil can cause them to soften. Even though there isn't a suggested service schedule for most bushings, it's necessary to replace a failing one.
Since the primary function assigned to your Bushing is to prevent friction between metal car parts and minimize vibrations in the cabin, when your Bushing has become damaged or broken, the signs are hard to miss. Your vehicle may rattle or shake when hitting bumps or uneven terrain, your steering wheel may start to feel excessively loose whenever you make a turn, you're likely to hear more roadway sounds and notice vibrations within the cabin of your vehicle, and you may hear creaky sounds or knocking noises coming from your INFINITI's wheel fenders.
There are multiple bushings within your INFINITI, making it difficult to identify the one that needs to be serviced. If you encounter any of these symptoms, you might need to get your vehicle inspected by a certified INFINITI service center location instead of attempting the installation at home.
Purchasing the right Bushing is essential for the proper operation of your INFINITI. Ensure that you get the best Bushing for your specific vehicle by shopping authentic OEM components at INFINITI Parts.
