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

Your vehicle's Bushing plays an essential role in your INFINITI's suspension system. This component, which has a small rubber or polyurethane design, enables important car parts to work without vibrating your cabin. Consider bushings as the joints of your vehicle's components.

Your INFINITI's Bushing not only alleviates vibration within the cabin, but it also provides cushioning between parts and helps to eliminate friction between metal components.

Because a Bushing is produced using flexibles materials, it might inevitably start to wear and deteriorate over time. Many times, when a Bushing goes bad, the cause can be the result of a series of factors. Extreme heat or severe weather conditions can accelerate deterioration. Dry rot, which causes shrinkage, stiffening, breaking, and overall brittleness, can happen due to exposure to the elements. Encountering leaky oil can also cause the component to soften. Despite there not being a recommended service interval for many bushings, it's essential to get a damaged one replaced.

Since the main duty of your INFINITI's Bushing is to prevent friction between metal parts and minimize vibrations in the cabin, when a Bushing has become faulty or starts to wear, you'll eventually notice. Your car will likely start to rattle when hitting bumps or uneven terrain, your steering wheel might feel overly slack when making turns, you're likely to hear more roadway noise and feel vibrations within the cabin of your vehicle, and you might also hear thumping or banging noises coming from the wheel fenders on your INFINITI.

There are many different bushings inside your INFINITI, making it difficult to find which one may need to be replaced. If you notice any of the signs and symptoms of a failing Bushing, you might need to get the problem diagnosed by a certified INFINITI service center instead of trying to do the installation at home.

Purchasing the correct Bushing is vital for driving safety. Ensure that you get the right kind by purchasing genuine OEM components at INFINITI Parts.
