Frequently asked questions

What is the upper link bush (NTC1773LR) and where is it fitted?
The upper link bush sits inside the top (upper) suspension link at the rear, providing a compliant pivot between the link and its chassis mounting. It allows controlled articulation under suspension movement while isolating vibration and cushioning load transfer.
What causes the upper link bush to wear, and how does it present when failed?
Rubber compression and cracking with age and off-road loading are the typical causes. A worn upper link bush usually presents as imprecise rear-end handling, clunking on articulation, or knocking over rough ground.
