Honda Civic Lower Control Arm Bushing

Lower control arm bushings are an integral part of the vehicle suspension system. These bushings are made of rubber which is able to separate the faces of two objects at the same time allowing some movement. When the car moves over bumpy roads and surfaces, the suspension parts move easily due to the lower control arm bushings. Because the rubber is flexible, it helps to minimize the noise of the transmission and the small vibrations that run through the chassis of the vehicle.

The main purpose of the lower control arm bushings is to maintain the driving comfort and handling when the vehicle moves over rough and bumpy roads. The control arm connects the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the frame of the vehicle, while the lower control arm bushings cushion the suspension system, hence controlling noise, vibrations and making the ride softer over bumps on the road.

The lower control arm bushings press into the control arms at each end of the device in order to secure the connection to the chassis. The lower control arm bushing is used to hold the bolt which connects the control arm to the chassis. Effects of Bushings: The bushings are installed at the front as well as the rear suspensions of the vehicles, which helps in maintaining proper alignment while driving, especially over bumpy roads. This alignment is maintained also during extreme weather conditions and off road. Because of the lower control arm bushing the suspension system is able to enhance its navigation as well as safety in the vehicle, thereby improving the overall handling, cornering and control. These parts help the suspension provide the car a smooth operation and experience on road.

The lower control arm bushing is holds the bolt which connects the control arm to the chassis of the vehicle. These control arm bushings can be found at the broader end of the control arm to which the part pivots
