bushings
Cylindrical friction reducers
Bushings are cylindrical linings that reduce friction between moving parts or provide insulation.
In machinery, a bushing fits inside a hole to create a bearing surface for a rotating shaft.
In electrical work, bushings insulate wires passing through panels or walls.
The mechanic replaced the worn control arm bushings.
The singular is bushing.
