Stabilizer bushes also known as stabilizer mounts are small parts usually made of stiff rubber or polyurethane. Their main purpose is to retain a stabilizer bar during cornering, absorb noise and vibration, providing additional smoothness to car moving.

4 tips on stabilizer bushes operation

1. Perform components replacement every 30,000 operational kilometers.
2. If the defect of one bush is found, buy a stabilizer repair kit, and replace parts from both sides, as a precaution.
3. Do not use lubricants to eliminate squeak of the bushes, because dust and dirt accumulate on them, shortening the component lifetime.
4. If possible, opt for bushes equipped with dust boots. Such spare parts are more durable, because their inner surface is protected from soiling.

Defects of stabilizer bushes, their causes and signs

1. Deformation. Typically, it indicates natural wear of the component. It shows itself in free play, steering wheel wobbling, loss of road-holding ability.
2. Cracking. It can be detected by specific clicks when the car body rolls, and by noise in the suspension. Poor quality of the material, the spare part is made of, can be the cause of it.
3. Loss of elasticity. It shows itself in creaks of stabilizer bushes. It may be caused by poor-quality of the material, significant wear of the part, or due to the influence of low temperature during cold season.
