Does My Bushes Need Replacing?

Given the importance of bushings in your vehicle, it is important to replace them when the rubber wears out. If symptoms such as shock and noise can clearly be linked to the bushings on a certain part of your truck, those bushings must be replaced to ensure the health and service life of the vehicle.

How do you know if your bushes need replacing?

A clunking or rattling noise, for example, will tell that there may be something wrong. The symptoms will show up especially when you go through a corner or when you drive over a bad road surface. Another sign that can tell a bush is worn is when there is uneven tyre wear.

How long should bushes last?

While they should last up to 100,000km or more, the suspension bushes should be checked – as should the rest of the suspension system - whenever they are accessible to a mechanic.
