What are the symptoms of a broken suspension bushing?

[OliviaFitz]

Symptoms of a broken suspension bushing include: 1. Hearing a metallic clanging sound when going over speed bumps, cobblestone roads, or dirt roads; 2. Continuous unusual noises on roads with large potholes; 3. If the damage is severe, it will continuously transmit minor vibrations to the steering wheel. The purpose of the bushing is to prevent vibrations and noise. If there are unusual noises when driving on uneven roads, it should be replaced promptly. The hard connection between the suspension and other metal parts relies on the bushing to buffer vibrations and noise between the metals. If the bushing is aged, it cannot function as a shock absorber, leading to metal parts colliding and producing unusual noises, which in turn affects the vehicle's stability and buffering capability during driving.
