• Helps isolate vibration within the cabin
• Reduces friction between metal components
• Can deteriorate over time from exposure to the elements

The Bushing in your car plays an essential role in your INFINITI's suspension system. The Bushing, which is designed with rubber, polyurethane, or other material types, helps vital car parts to run without transmitting vibration to the cabin of your INFINITI. Bushings are like the joints of your car's parts.

Your INFINITI's Bushing not only inhibits vibration within the cabin, but it also cushions parts and reduces friction between components.

Because your Bushing is designed with flexibles materials, it can organically begin to break down and erode as time passes. Many times, when a Bushing becomes faulty, this can be caused by a series of issues. Harsh heat from the exhaust or intense weather conditions can streamline deterioration. Dry rot which leads to stiffening, shrinking, breaking, and overall brittleness, can happen due to exposure to the elements. Contact with leaking oil can cause them to soften. Although there is not a recommended service interval for bushings, it's necessary to have a faulty one replaced.

Since the primary function of your INFINITI's Bushing is to eliminate friction between metal components and keep vibrations at bay, when this component has gone bad or begun to fail, the signs are hard to miss. Your vehicle may rattle or shake whenever you encounter bumps or uneven terrain, your steering wheel might feel overly slack whenever you make a turn, you'll probably hear more roadway noise and notice vibrations inside your car's cabin, and you might even hear thumping or knocking noises coming from your wheel fenders.

There are a lot of bushings within your INFINITI, which can make it hard to identify which one may need servicing. If you notice any of the issues above, you might need to get your vehicle inspected by a certified INFINITI service center instead of attempting the installation on your own.

Purchasing the correct Bushing is vital for driving safety. Make sure you get one made specifically for your vehicle by purchasing OEM components at INFINITI Parts.
