Thrust Rod Bushings
The thrust rod bushings help to limit fore and aft movement (thrust) of the suspension while allowing the necessary up and down movement.
Symptoms of Wear or Failure
- Scraping or squeaking noise over bumps
Related Repair Advice
- In most cases, the thrust rod must be replaced in order to replace the bushings.
- Replacing the thrust rod may affect the alignment's settings. We recommend a four-wheel alignment when the thrust rod is replaced.
