they are little rubber boots or grommets that go on bolts that hold two pieces of metal together and the rubber stops the metal from touching mainly you will find bushings in your suspension system
They can go bad.
I am having my strut bushings and sway bar links replaced for $330 in northern IL. NOT at the dealer. They wanted $800.

would it be subfram bushings that stop the car fromm swaing or sway bar bushings
Need to know which bushings, there are many bushings in a vehicle.
It really depends on the year/make model of the vehicle,type of driving and the material they are made of. I've replaced Factory front bushings on a BMW X5 after on 3yrs/30,000 miles( large soft rubber, city car.) while my mother Chrysler's bushings last 10yrs/100,000 miles (smaller bushings made of a harder rubber). Most last 8-12yrs. BMWs have the shortest life span than I've seen.
No.
Since The Villager is of unibody construction, there are only a couple things that can be considered "subframe bushings". Sway bar bushings (front and rear), rear leaf spring bushings, and the most likely, control arm bushings.
There are a bunch of different bushings...please be more specific.
just normal bushings
how do i replace the front end bushings on 1997 Tahoe
we would need more information but most if not all bushings can be replaced
