A leaf spring bushing acts as a buffer between the leaf spring and its mounting point, absorbing shocks and vibrations to provide a smoother, quieter ride and support suspension integrity.
Signs include squeaking or creaking noises from the suspension, a rougher ride, or a noticeable decrease in vehicle stability. Visual inspection may reveal cracks or deformation.
This bushing is compatible with vehicles requiring Volvo OEM reference 20362678. It is recommended to cross-reference your vehicle's part number with this information or consult a mechanic.
The bushing has an outer diameter of 60 mm and an inner diameter of 20 mm, with a length of 115 mm.
While possible for those with mechanical experience and the right tools, installation involves critical suspension components. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended for safety and proper function.
The bushing is constructed from a combination of rubber and metal for durability and vibration absorption.
The lifespan varies depending on driving conditions, vehicle load, and environmental factors. However, a quality bushing like this from Febi Bilstein is designed for longevity under normal operating conditions.
This can indicate worn or dry bushings. Inspect the leaf spring bushings for signs of wear or damage. Replacement may be necessary if they are degraded or cracked.
Worn bushings may not be effectively absorbing shocks. Check the condition of the bushings and other suspension components. Replace any worn parts.
Damaged or worn leaf spring bushings can affect alignment and stability. Inspect for excessive play or damage. Professional assessment of the suspension system is advised.
Compatibility: This bushing is designed to fit the front axle, left and right sides. It is compatible with vehicles requiring Volvo OEM part number 20362678. Always verify your vehicle's specific requirements before purchasing.
Setup: Installation of leaf spring bushings typically requires lifting the vehicle securely, removing the wheel, and accessing the leaf spring mounting points. It often involves disassembling parts of the suspension. Due to the critical safety nature of suspension components, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended. Specialized tools are usually needed to properly seat the bushing and reassemble the suspension components.
Care: Leaf spring bushings are generally maintenance-free. However, regular visual inspections during routine vehicle maintenance can help identify early signs of wear or damage. Look for cracks, tears, or excessive deformation in the rubber. Avoid exposing the bushings to harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can accelerate degradation.
