FAQs
Can I install this bushing at home without a press?
It is not recommended. Using a hammer or improper tools often leads to deforming the metal casing of the bushing, resulting in immediate failure or poor performance.
How do I know if my control arm bushings are failing?
Common symptoms include knocking noises when driving over bumps, unstable steering, or uneven wear patterns on your tires.
Does this part include the mounting hardware?
No, the package includes the bushing unit itself. It is recommended to replace old mounting bolts or nuts if they show signs of fatigue or corrosion.
Is this bushing suitable for all vehicle makes?
No, this is a specific component. You must verify that the 55 mm outer diameter and 15 mm inner diameter match your specific vehicle's requirements.
Why is it important to use OE quality bushings?
Suspension components are critical for safety. OE-quality parts, like those from Febi Bilstein, ensure the rubber hardness and metal tolerance are exact matches for your vehicle's designed handling characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Persistent squeaking or clunking noise after installation
Verify that the mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specified setting; loose bolts often mimic failed bushing symptoms.
Difficulty pressing the bush into the housing
Ensure the control arm housing is clean and free of rust or debris. Use a high-quality lubricant compatible with rubber parts to aid the insertion process.
Premature wear after short usage
Check for underlying suspension misalignment or damaged control arm mounting points that may be placing uneven stress on the new bushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility
Before purchasing, verify your vehicle’s compatibility by cross-referencing your VIN or the original equipment part number with the Febi Bilstein 42889 specifications (55 mm outer diameter, 15 mm inner diameter, 90 mm thickness).
Installation
Professional installation is highly recommended. The process requires a hydraulic shop press to push the old bushing out and press the new unit into the control arm housing without damaging the rubber seal. Do not use high-heat torches to remove old bushings, as this can weaken the metal structure of the control arm.
Care
Routine suspension inspections should be performed during oil changes. Look for signs of dry-rotting, cracking in the rubber, or excessive play in the control arm joint, which may indicate that the bushing has reached the end of its service life.
