About Control Arm Bushess
A Land Rover control arm bush is made from a tough rubber and installed on the front and rear control arms of vehicles to ensure that they are fitted securely to the suspension system. The control arm of a vehicle is responsible for allowing the smooth movement of tyres in line with a vehicle’s body.
The Land Rover control arm bush is a crucial part of the suspension system and should be maintained like any other part of the vehicle. Should one fail, the control arm will have more give and could potentially fail, meaning that the drive will be very uncomfortable over bumpy surfaces.
Because of the rubberised material of the Land Rover control arm bush it is possible that it could crack and deteriorate, particularly if it comes in to contact with oil or dirt. If one of these Land Rover bushes becomes worn it should be replaced quickly as vehicular damage can escalate.
You may notice that your tyres are not wearing evenly, or wear quickly or the drive has become more awkward and bumpy. If this is the case you should also examine the control arms for signs of damage and wear and replace as necessary.
Land Rover trivia
- One of the most unique vehicles ever was the floating SUV designed and built by Land Rover. Unfortunately, the Floating Ninety Defender led many drivers to believe that their own Land Rovers could also float, and many cars were driven into lakes as a result.
- In the 1950s, you could buy yourself a Land Rover with tank tracks instead of wheels. Known as the Cuthbertson Version, it was intended for use by farmers and was tested by driving across the Scottish Highlands.
- Although the first Land Rover was designed in 1947 (by Maurice Wilks), the company wasn't actually founded until 1978!
- The designer Charles S. King worked with Rolls Royce to design jet engines before going on to build the Range Rover. King would go onto building a car around those jet engines that then held the world land speed record, the first turbine-powered vehicle to do so.
- Most cars get an immediate redesign after the prototype is designed. Not with the Range Rover, however! The 1966 design was considered perfect as it was, which never happens in the automotive industry. The Range Rover is considered a work of art, and one of them is even on display in the Louvre.
