Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this a direct replacement for the original part?

Yes, the Febi 109695 is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) specifications for intended vehicles.

Do I need an alignment after replacing this bush?

Yes, any significant suspension work involving the control arms or wishbones requires a professional wheel alignment to ensure safety and prevent uneven tire wear.

Can I install this without a press?

It is strongly advised to use a hydraulic press or a dedicated bushing removal/installation tool. Using makeshift methods can damage the new bushing or the control arm housing.

Should I replace the bushings on both sides of the vehicle?

It is best practice to replace suspension bushings in pairs to ensure even handling and wear characteristics on both the left and right sides.

How do I know if my bushing needs replacing?

Common signs include knocking or clunking sounds from the suspension, increased steering play, or uneven inner/outer edge tire wear.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pressing the new bushing into the arm

Ensure the control arm housing is clean of debris and use a suitable silicone-based lubricant to assist the press-fit.

Noise persists after installation

Verify that the suspension bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings while the vehicle is at ride height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting the installation, verify your vehicle's specific compatibility via the chassis number to ensure the part fits your control arm configuration.

  1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and remove the wheel assembly.
  2. Removal: Extract the wishbone from the subframe. Use a hydraulic press or a dedicated bushing removal tool to push the old, worn bushing out of the arm housing.
  3. Installation: Clean the housing thoroughly. Use a proper pressing tool to seat the new Febi 109695 bush squarely. Avoid striking the bushing directly with a hammer to prevent structural damage to the rubber.
  4. Care: Keep the area free of heavy oil or chemical exposure where possible. During routine maintenance, inspect the bushing for signs of dry-rotting or tearing, especially if the vehicle is frequently driven in harsh terrain.
