A suspension bush or rubber bushes are a type of vibration isolator. It provides a damping effect between two parts. Normally between the lower or upper suspension arm and the body of the vehicle. Bushes are made of synthetic rubber or a polyurethane. They allow the suspension parts to move freely, for example, when driven over bumps.

Common Faults:

Bushes can become worn or can split over time as a result they could begin to creak. The wheel will have more play and this can cause uneven tyre wear. In extreme cases a rattle or knocking noise may be heard. Worn bushes allow the arms to transmit noises and small vibrations. These noises and vibrations can be felt through the chassis when driven and when turning corners.

In a vehicle’s suspension a control arm is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel.
The inside (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually with a bolt through a rubber bush. It can therefore control the position of the outer end in only a single degree of freedom, maintaining the radial distance from the inner mount.
Another type of lower arm is a wishbone. Wishbones are triangular and have two widely spaced inside bushes. These bushes stop the outside end of the wishbone from moving back and forth by controlling two degrees of freedom without requiring additional links.
