Rubber metal parts are vital for providing support to a variety of systems within the vehicle make-up. These components are used within the steering, suspension and engine ranges to firmly fix their respective components in position, absorb vibrations that occur due to the road surface and drive torque whilst making a significant contribution to increasing driving comfort and noise insulation.

The SWAG range includes a selection of hydraulic oil filled bushes which dampen vibrations and absorb bumps on uneven road surfaces. Solid rubber cores do not reduce vibration and noise as efficiently, and can transfer vibrations to surrounding components.

SWAG says fitting quality is vital with these components as poor quality rubber-metal parts can cause problems such as; reduced performance due to rubber drying out, rubber distorting from the vehicle weight on the suspension, reduced stability, uneven tyre wear and greater noise and vibration.
