Control Arm Bushing Low Friction Metric Front

The Control Arm Bushing Low Friction Metric Front (ALL 56228) is a precision suspension component engineered for GM G-Body vehicles manufactured between 1978 and 1988. This lower control arm bushing serves a critical role in steering geometry and suspension compliance, directly affecting vehicle handling stability and tire wear patterns. Designed for those seeking to restore or upgrade their classic GM platform, this low-friction bushing reduces NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) and maintains proper alignment geometry during sustained driving.

Constructed from steel with low-friction internal geometry, the Control Arm Bushing Low Friction Metric Front minimizes bind and articulation resistance compared to OEM rubber bushings. The metric specification ensures compatibility with factory suspension mounting points while the low-friction design reduces parasitic drag on steering input and allows the suspension to respond more naturally to road surface changes. Steel construction provides superior durability and resistance to bushing wear, extending service intervals and improving predictability in high-mileage or enthusiast-driven applications.

This bushing is ideal for restoration shops, weekend mechanics, and performance-oriented owners maintaining or upgrading G-Body suspension systems. Installation requires standard suspension tools and basic mechanical knowledge; the bushing press-fits into the lower control arm and mounts to the frame pivot point. Each unit weighs 0.94 lbs and measures 4 x 1.8 x 7 inches, fitting standard tooling and shop equipment. Verify fitment with your specific 1978–1988 GM G-Body model before ordering to ensure correct suspension geometry and steering response.
