KILLVOX Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Can someone tell me what the compression rod does, and how important is it to have good bushings on them. Thanks, learning as i go. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 The compression rod anchors and co-locates the lower control arm, which is the main load-bearing suspension part in the front end. The bushings are very important, and they tend to go bad after about 100,000 miles or so. Polyurethane replacement bushings are available from Energy Suspension.

I just picked up a set from Central 4Wheel Drive for $22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
