Powerflex Front Lower Control Arm Front Bushings (Street) – Vauxhall / Opel Manta B

Powerflex Front Lower Control Arm Front Bushings (Street) for Vauxhall / Opel Manta B.

Function and design

A suspension arm bushing forms a controlled mounting point between the arm and its supporting structure. Compliance at that joint allows movement under load; the condition and construction of the bushing influence how consistently the arm locates the wheel.

What to consider

For a suspension refresh, replacing deteriorated mounting bushings addresses movement at the joint rather than changing the spring or damper rate. Final steering and handling behavior also depends on the remaining joints, tires and alignment.

Application

Vauxhall / Opel Manta B.

Series

• Street: the road-oriented series; compound selection depends on the individual application.

Installation considerations

Inspect the arm, housing and associated joints during installation. Use the fitting procedure for the selected part number and check alignment after work affecting suspension geometry.
