Catera V6-3.0L VIN R (1997)
Control Arm: Description and Operation
This vehicle utilizes silicone-filled hydro-bushings in the front lower control arms. This specially calibrated bushing improves control while braking by
causing a precalibrated level of toe-in to occur at the relevant wheel under heavy braking. This independent toe angle change at each wheel improves
control when braking with split-road friction conditions (dry pavement one side and ice on the other).
The hydro-bushings also limit the impact of road input and/or tire imbalance.
