CUSHION RUB MAIN

Subaru Main Cushion in Suspension System

The suspension system is one of the most crucial components of a vehicle, ensuring that the car handles smoothly and comfortably. The main cushion, often overlooked, plays a pivotal role in this system. It's designed to absorb shock and reduce the vibrations transmitted from the road through the suspension to the frame of the vehicle.

Why Is This Part Needed?

The primary purpose of the cushion is to ensure that both the driver and passengers experience a ride free from harsh vibrations and jarring movements. It maintains optimal contact between the tires and road, providing improved control and handling, especially on uneven terrain. Without this component, the driving experience would be significantly degraded, leading to an uncomfortable ride.

How Does It Work?

The cushion acts as a flexible barrier that mitigates the transfer of kinetic energy from the road to the car’s body. Constructed from high-grade rubber compounds, it compresses and rebounds in response to ground-induced shocks, working in unison with the struts and springs to keep the vehicle stable and the cabin serene.

Consequences of a Broken Cushion

If the cushion becomes worn or damaged, the consequences can be felt immediately. The ride becomes noticeably rougher, and you may hear unusual noises as the suspension struggles to adequately absorb shock. This adds stress to other suspension components, potentially leading to costly repairs. Additionally, reduced damping can compromise vehicle control, posing a safety risk.
