NISSAN 56243-VC220 Stabilizer Bushing

The NISSAN 56243-VC220 (OEM cross-reference: NSBY61R) is a premium-quality stabilizer bushing (BUSH-STABILIZER) that plays a crucial role in the stable and safe operation of the vehicle's suspension system. This component secures the stabilizer bar to the vehicle's chassis or subframe while allowing its necessary rotational and torsional movement.

Key Functions and Features:

• Vibration Damping and Noise Reduction: Absorbs shocks and vibrations resulting from road irregularities, preventing them from transferring into the passenger cabin.
• Increased Stability: Minimizes body roll during cornering, improving vehicle road holding and steering response.
• Durable Material Composition: Manufactured from a high-grade rubber compound resistant to ozone, weathering, salt, and moisture for long service life.

• Part Number (SKU): 56243-VC220
• Alternative / OEM Reference: NSBY61R
• Part Type: Stabilizer Bushing (Suspension / Damping)

Signs of Failure and Wear:

Stabilizer bushings are subjected to continuous mechanical stress and environmental elements, leading them to age, harden, or crack over time. The most common symptoms of a worn bushing include:

• Knocking or metallic rattling noises from the suspension, particularly when traveling over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps.
• Squeaking noises during cornering or suspension compression.
• Unstable handling and increased body lean during cornering.

To ensure safe driving and protect other suspension components, replacing damaged or aged bushings in pairs across the axle is recommended.
