MOOG’s K3171 kit uses engineered thermoplastic compounds and performance-driven geometry to resist cracking, swelling or premature wear from road grime, salts and oils. The result is quieter operation, predictable handling and a longer service life compared with many original-equipment rubber bushings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will these bushings affect steering and handling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing worn bushings with MOOG K3171 restores correct sway bar positioning and reduces unwanted movement that causes imbalance or noise.
