Benefits of Hanger Bushing Ring Replacement
››› Greater Stability
Worn bushings can cause excessive sway during turns or under heavy loads. Replacing them restores balance by ensuring the suspension system functions as designed, improving overall vehicle stability.
››› Better Tire performance
Damaged or degraded bushings often lead to suspension misalignment and uneven tire wear. New hanger bushing rings help maintain proper alignment, promoting even tread wear and extending tire life.
››› Extended Suspension Life
Our welded suspension pivot bushings reduce metal-to-metal contact and minimize wear. Built to last, Axle Spindle bushings support safe, precise steering and long-term durability.
››› Better Alignment

Our Hanger Bushing Ring Replacement Process
Detailed Suspension Inspection
Proper alignment enhances vehicle stability, ensuring that your wheels maintain maximum contact with the road, just as the manufacturer intended. This not only improves handling but also reduces the risk of accidents caused by a loss of control.
Precision Bushing Installation
Using OEM-approved tooling provided by Hendrickson, we remove worn components and install high-quality replacement bushings that meet or exceed factory specifications. This ensures a precise fit and long-lasting performance.
Alignment Verification
Once the new bushings are installed, we confirm that the suspension and axle alignment match recommended specs. Proper alignment ensures optimal ride quality, tire wear, and handling performance.
Full System Functionality Testing
Before your truck hits the road again, we put the entire suspension system through a series of functional checks to ensure stability, safety, and reliable operation.
Signs Your Hanger Bushing Ring Needs Replacement
Excessive Vibration
Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel or cabin? Worn hanger bushing rings may be to blame. These components are designed to absorb road shock and reduce harshness from bumps and potholes. When they degrade, those vibrations travel through the suspension system, making rides uncomfortable and accelerating wear on other components
Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear
Noticing one side of your tire tread wearing down faster than the other? That could be a sign of misalignment caused by worn hanger bushing rings. As suspension geometry shifts, your tires take the hit—reducing fuel efficiency, handling, and tread life. Early detection saves you from frequent tire replacements and unnecessary costs.
Noises from the Suspension
Hearing squeaks, clunks, or rattles when driving over bumps? These sounds often indicate failing hanger bushings. As the bushings wear out, metal components may begin to rub together, causing noise and increasing the risk of further damage. Replacing them early can prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
Reduced Handling and Stability
If your vehicle feels loose during cornering or sways more than usual, your hanger bushings may no longer be holding the suspension securely. This not only affects comfort but also compromises safety—especially at highway speeds. Restoring worn bushings brings back the control, precision, and stability your suspension was built for.
