Parts for your 2014 Mitsubishi Asx-Suspension bushes

2014 Mitsubishi ASX suspension-bushes

Suspension-bushes absolutely are fitted to the 2014 Mitsubishi ASX. Technical references such as the Mitsubishi workshop manual and OEM parts catalogues for the GA2W/GA3W ASX outline rubber bushes in the front lower control arms (including rear hydro-bushes), subframe mounts and stabiliser bar D-bushes, along with rear suspension bushes across the multi-link or torsion-beam setups (market and drivetrain dependent). So yes—this vehicle relies on multiple bushes to control movement, isolate vibration and keep alignment stable.

On the ASX, suspension-bushes are the quiet achievers. They sit between metal components—control arms, the rear axle assembly, sway bars and the subframe—to absorb vibration, reduce harshness and allow controlled movement. When they’re healthy, the car tracks straight, the steering feels settled and tyres wear evenly. When they’re tired or cracked, you’ll often cop clunks over bumps, a floaty or nervous feel at the wheel, premature tyre wear and sometimes a shimmy under brakes.

As part of regular servicing on a 2014 Mitsubishi ASX, a visual inspection of all front and rear bushes is a smart move every 20,000 km or yearly—especially if the car does duty on coarse chip roads or gravel. Look for perishing, tears, splits, oil-soaked rubber and excessive play. Pay special attention to front lower control arm bushes and stabiliser bar D-bushes/end links, as they’re common wear points.

If replacement’s on the cards, doing bushes in axle pairs helps keep handling balanced. After any bush work, a wheel alignment is essential—worn bushes can mask alignment issues, and fresh bushes can shift geometry back where it should be. Always torque bush fasteners at normal ride height to avoid pre-loading the rubber. For parts choice, OEM-style rubber gives the best noise and comfort, while quality polyurethane can sharpen response and last longer, though it may pass a touch more vibration.

Those chasing a tidy WOF in NZ or a clean roadworthy/rego in Australia should note that deteriorated bushes can be a fail item. A workshop familiar with Mitsubishi’s specs can quickly confirm condition and quote on replacements without guessing. Get them right, and the ASX feels tighter, quieter and more confident on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

• Common signs: clunks, steering wander, uneven tyre wear, vibration under braking.
• Service tip: inspect annually, align wheels after bush replacement.
• Parts choice: OEM rubber for comfort, polyurethane for durability and sharper feel.

Are suspension-bushes the same on 2WD and AWD ASX models?

Not always. The front setup is broadly similar, but rear suspension differs by drivetrain and market. Some 2WD models use a torsion-beam with different bush designs, while AWD variants often run a multi-link rear with additional bushes. A VIN-based parts check is best.

How long do ASX suspension-bushes typically last?

Many last well past 100,000 km, but harsh roads, heavy loads and heat can shorten that. If there are clunks, wandering or rapid inner tyre wear, it’s time for an inspection—don’t just wait for a set kilometre number.

Can worn bushes damage other components?

Yes. Excessive play can accelerate tyre wear, stress ball joints and sway bar links, and increase brake shudder. Replacing tired bushes early can save money on tyres and other suspension parts.
