Advantages of Using Rubber Bushes

Suitable for all vehicle types

rubber bushes are suitable as mechanical joints on road and rail vehicle suspensions, pivot arms, engine mountings, gearbox mountings, and as captive cab mountings. Automotive rubber bushes are used in suspension systems, as reducing vibrations is essential to prevent noise and vibrations travelling through both on and off-road vehicles.

Improved safety and comfort when driving

The rubber on shock absorbers plays a critical role in vehicle safety and comfort when driving, used for positioning and aligning suspension and steering components. These include shock absorbers, sway bars, control links and torsion bars. Rubber bushes need to be in good condition, to avoid rapid tyre wear and steering or breaking problems.

Minimised noise caused by vibration

The rubber on shock absorbers can minimise the noise caused by vibration and remove the need for lubrication. As a result, they are often preferred over solid connections. Rubber bushes also make great shock absorbers, vibration isolators and abrasion resistors.

Minimised damage caused by vibration

Repeated vibrations can be the source of damage to suspension systems, contributing to the weakening of this type of system and surrounding structure. Shock rubber bushing works to prevent this from happening, minimising the vibrations and their resultant damage.
