Moisture and dirt penetrates between the stabilizer and the bushings. As a result, abrasive wear is accelerated. Gaps and cracks appear. This provokes a knock in the suspension, as well as incorrect operation of the stabilizer.

All suspension elements are in contact with the car body through bushings. During operation, knocking and squeaking often occurs. This is due to damage to the stabilizer struts, leaf springs, linkage, and bushings.
