Automotive bushings
Engineered Automotive Bushings Built for Performance
Lusida manufactures automotive bushings and rubber-to-metal components engineered for suspension performance, durability, vibration control, and NVH requirements.
Our capabilities include:
- Suspension bushings
- Shock absorber mounts
- Engine mounts
- Resonance blocks
- Buffer blocks, and other molded rubber components.
We support the complete manufacturing process—from material development and tooling to molding, rubber-to-metal bonding, testing, PPAP, and production.
Built Around Your Application
Our engineering and CAE capabilities help optimize bushing stiffness, durability, geometry, and NVH performance for your specific application. In-house rubber compounding and testing provide greater control over material and product performance throughout development and production.
Lusida delivers engineered chassis bushing solutions from concept through production.
A Wide Range of Automotive Bushings
Subframe Bushings
High-load radial/axial bushings isolating the subframe from body structure, tuned for preload and directional stiffness.
Link / Connecting-Rod Bushings
The featured product line in this brief — swaged multi-layer construction for stable rate and low compression set.
Conical Engine Mounts
Excellent for absorbing movement, shock, and vibration in compact mounting spaces.

Every Bushing Tested for Performance
Our in-house test center gives us the ability to test rubber materials and finished components throughout the development and production process. We perform static and dynamic testing, durability testing, environmental testing, and other performance checks to make sure each bushing meets its requirements. The same testing capabilities support our IATF 16949 quality system and PPAP production submissions.
Rubber Material Testing
- Specific gravity
- Shore A hardness
- Tensile strength & elongation at break
- Tear strength
- Ozone resistance
- Heat aging
- Compression set
- Cure characteristics (rheometer)
- Low-temperature brittleness
- Mooney viscosity
- Carbon black dispersion
Performance Testing
- Static: linear stiffness
- Non-linear stiffness
- Press-in / press-out force
- Bond & structural strength
- Dynamic: dynamic stiffness ratio
- Loss angle (tan δ)
Durability Testing
- Single-axis fatigue
- Bi-axial fatigue
- Tri-axial fatigue
- Multi-channel MTS road-load simulation
- Block-cycle damage accumulation (Miner's rule)
Environmental Testing
- Neutral salt spray
- High / low temperature cycling
- Humidity & thermal-shock aging
