Common Symptoms

  • Clunking over bumps
  • Imprecise steering feel
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Wandering at highway speeds

How to Fix

Replace worn bushings with polyurethane or spherical upgrades for improved longevity. Perform a full alignment after bushing replacement. Track-focused owners should inspect bushings every 10,000 miles.
