Rubber Bushing

As the name suggests, the silentbloc, also known as a silentblock, rubber bushing or rubber buffer, ensures low-noise and low-vibration connections. This means that silentblocks are fitted in places where vibrations or movements can cause problems.

Rubber bushings are made of rubber, a material that dries out and cracks over time. They need to be replaced when they crack, become too soft and develop too much play.
