09-15 Cadillac CTS-V Greaseable Control Arm Bushings
The factory Cadillac control arm bushings are a common problem on the second generation CTS-V and are known to fail prematurely. Additionally, the OEM control arm bushings are soft and allow deflection which in turn creates less than desirable handling characteristics. Replace those less than desirable OEM bushings with our polyurethane bushings and enjoy better handling.
The design of our control arm bushings as well as the hardware allows for grease to be pumped into the bushing for increased longevity. Furthermore, the grease also helps keep the bushings from squeaking. We suggest you grease these bushings every oil change.
We offer our own formulation of grease for use with our bushings. You can view that grease here – https://creative-steel.com/shop/mercedes/slk-class/slk55-05-10-r171/cs-14oz-polyurethane-grease-tube/
