The metal suspension control arms on your vehicle are tied together by a series of rubber bushings that provide flexibility and shock absorption while still allowing the suspension to work properly. Over time the OEM Pontiac Tempest control arm bushings crack, crumble and wear away, leaving the control arms dangerously loose. This can cause all sorts of problems from premature tire wear to unsafe handling characteristics. Here at Andy's we have a large selection of Pontiac Tempest control arm bushings from all of the leading brand names. No matter what your price range, you will be able to find the perfect Pontiac Tempest bushings to restore your vehicle's performance and safety in our extensive lineup.

While the OEM rubber bushings that came on your vehicle offer decent performance, several aftermarket companies have improved bushing designs through the use of high-tech materials like polyurethane. These uprated Pontiac Tempest control arm bushings are slightly stiffer, but still offer flexibility, so they can enhance your ride's handling characteristics without ruining the ride quality. In addition, uprated bushings are resistant to chemicals and environmental factors like heat and light, so they will not degrade like rubber. Thanks to their great performance and affordability we always choose upgraded bushings whenever it is time to replace the OEM units.
