Alignment Caster And Camber Bushings

What Do Caster and Camber Alignment Bushings Do?

A vehicle's suspension includes bushings that are often made of metal with rubber surrounds. These bushings provide a pivot point for suspension components and absorb vibration before it is transferred to the frame while keeping the connection points of the suspension tight. On vehicles where the suspension has been modified, whether they have been raised or lowered, it is sometimes not possible to achieve proper alignment with the stock suspension components. This can cause premature tire wear and damage to other suspension and steering components. Alignment bushings and camber bolts can allow additional adjustment and can help caster and camber angles to be set correctly. Caster and camber alignment bushings are specialized suspension components that can improve a vehicle's handling, stability, and tire wear when installed correctly, and allow for suspension adjustment beyond that available on the vehicle from the factory. Caster and camber bushings may also suffer wear or damage over time, and installing alignment bushings may help to ensure that the vehicle can be properly aligned after your repair. If you've modified the ride height or stance of your vehicle and have noticed additional tire wear, diminished handling, cornering, or other alignment issues, check out O'Reilly Auto Parts for alignment bushings, ball joints, control arms, and more to help you fine-tune your vehicle's suspension system. After installing caster/camber alignment bearings, a professional wheel alignment is also necessary to ensure your vehicle's suspension angles match the manufacturer's recommendation.
