FAQs

What is the primary function of a leaf spring bush?

A leaf spring bush acts as a buffer between the leaf spring and the vehicle's chassis or mounting bracket. It absorbs shocks and vibrations from the road, reduces noise, and allows for controlled articulation of the suspension.

Where is the Febi Bilstein 105890 leaf spring bush installed?

This specific bush is designed for installation on the front axle, for both the left and right side positions.

Do I need special tools to install this bush?

Yes, installation typically requires specialized tools for suspension work, including presses or pullers to remove the old bush and install the new one safely and correctly. Professional installation is recommended.

How long should this leaf spring bush last?

The lifespan of a leaf spring bush depends on driving conditions, load, and material quality. The rubber/metal construction from Febi Bilstein is designed for durability, but replacement may be needed after several years or tens of thousands of miles, especially under heavy use or on poor road surfaces.

Can I use this bush for rear axle applications?

No, the Febi Bilstein 105890 is specifically designed for front axle placement. Using it on the rear axle would be incorrect and could compromise safety and performance.

What are the main dimensions of this bush?

The bush has an outer diameter of 61 mm, an inner diameter of 24 mm, and a length of 96 mm.

Does Febi Bilstein provide fitting instructions with this part?

Typically, parts like these are supplied without fitting instructions. It is expected that installation is carried out by professionals familiar with vehicle suspension systems.

Troubleshooting

Clunking or rattling noise from front suspension

Worn or damaged leaf spring bushes can cause noise. Inspect the bushes for signs of cracking, deformation, or separation. Replacement of the affected bushes may resolve the issue.

Vehicle handling feels unstable or loose

Degraded leaf spring bushes can compromise suspension integrity. Ensure the bushes are correctly installed and intact. If they are worn, replacement is necessary for proper handling.

Difficulty fitting the bush

Ensure the correct bush is being used for the application and that the mounting points are clean and free of debris. Minor lubrication on the outer surface of the bush may aid insertion, but avoid excessive amounts that could degrade the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is designed for installation on the front axle, left and right sides.
