6. Replacements for the worn-out rubber pieces in your suspension
- Your car has a bunch of "bushings" -- i.e., little rubber pieces designed to absorb noise, vibration, and harshness in the suspension. They're soft, and they wear out over time, allowing key parts to move more than they should. That’s bad, and you definitely feel it even if you don’t realize it. Especially if your car is older, replace worn bushings with fresh, performance-oriented versions and your car will feel factory-fresh... at least in terms of driving.
- If you have no idea what an anti-roll bar (aka sway bar) is, don't worry about it. Just know that it connects both sides of your car's suspension and helps prevent body lean during cornering, meaning you keep the car's weight more evenly distributed among your tires. The main thing to keep in mind here is that if you have an adjustable bar, you can tinker with its settings until you're happy with how your car feels.
