Suspension Bushes

A suspension bush is used as a vibration isolation on the suspension of a vehicle. Rubber suspension bushes work by seperating the two metal faces which knock together to create the vibration, yet still allowing for movement. This means the bush absorbs the vibration, but the suspension still functions correctly.

GMT manufacture various different designs of fully bonded suspension bushes to suit our customers’ individual applications. The suspension bush can be configured with a solid central metal core incorporating lugs or alternatively with a hole through the centre, providing different installation options. Suspension bushes can also be produced with solid or segmented/split outer metals, and in standard mild steel or aluminium material options. They are commonly used in vehicle suspension systems for both road and off-highway vehicles. GMT have also developed hydraulic variable stiffness bushes primarily for the railway market.  If you require suspension bushes for a specific project, then please contact GMT today and we will be more than happy to create bespoke anti vibration fittings to suit your needs.
