- 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 within your suspension system. This component, which is designed with rubber, polyurethane, or other material types, enables essential car parts to move without causing vibrations within your INFINITI's cabin. Consider bushings as the joints of your car's many components.
Your INFINITI's Bushing not only minimizes vibration within the cabin, but it also provides cushioning between parts and reduces friction.
Because a Bushing is produced using pliable materials, it can naturally start to break down and erode with time. Often, when a Bushing fails, the cause can be the result of many different things. Excessive heat or intense weather conditions can streamline deterioration. Dry rot which leads to shrinking, stiffening, breaking, and toughening of the component, can occur from exposure to the elements. Contact with leaking oil can lead to softening. Even though there isn't a recommended service interval for bushings, it's necessary to get a damaged one replaced.
Since the most important job of your INFINITI's Bushing is to alleviate friction between metal parts and keep vibrations at bay, when a Bushing has gone bad or begun to fail, you'll notice. Your vehicle may rattle or shake when driving over bumps or uneven roadways, your steering wheel may start to feel excessively loose whenever you make a turn, you're likely to hear more road noise and feel vibrations within the cabin of your vehicle, and you may hear creaking or knocking noises coming from your INFINITI's wheel fenders.
There are many different bushings within your INFINITI, which can make it tricky to locate the one that needs to be serviced. If you encounter any of the issues above, you may need to have your vehicle inspected by an authorized INFINITI dealership instead of attempting to complete the installation at home.
Buying the correct Bushing is essential for the proper operation of your INFINITI. Make sure you get the best Bushing for your specific vehicle by purchasing OEM components at INFINITI Parts.
