is There Any Easier Ways to Find Rubber Bushings?

[CR1T1CAL]

I am a young motor mechanic that is currentally loving this game. There is one thing that i do hate about this game that i also hate about being a vehicle technician in real life, thats is finding broke rubber bushings... There is one job i have right not that has been floating about my garage now for a long time due to not being able to find the rubber bushings that need replaced. i have checked the 4 rubber bushingson the rear suspension crossmember and on the front suspension crossmember. i have alos checked the two lower suspension arms, all six rear suspension arms and the two rear upper suspension arms. Is there any easier way to find them rather thatn spending half an hour looking or asking other folks? maybe a mod or something? if anyone has anything plz reply. im not bothered bout the car i have as i will spend more time looking. im talking about more of a long term solution to finding these dam things. thanks

On your car repair list, to the right of your screen you will see all the jobs that need doing. Next to the part is a clear star, click on that it will turn into a gold star then come out of the list. The part that needs replacing will now be highlighted with a blue outline.
Hope this helps.

The test path (diagnostic path available after first garage expansion through red double doors near repair bench) is easily the best option to find the condition of every bushing (regular and small) on the car. The only downside is the car must be able to start to use it.

EDIT: Combined with the above advice to highlight found faulty parts it should be relatively simple to fix them.

Looked everywhere and you can not find them? Did you look at the corners of the frame? At the suspention arms and or knuckles? Trailing arms or leaf spring ends? The main locations that they are located on real cars..

This works until the bushing is one of "undiscovered parts", then you must tediously check all of them and decide based on sight, for they're usually "?" condition.

That's why you use the testing tools / options. Do ALL tests... to include the test drive at the test drive track. There's two test 'drive' options... one is the test track and the other the room behind the red doors. Both these will end up revealing most the bad bushings. That doesn't tell you which one it is but, it wouldn't be on the car details list as 'undiscovered' anymore. At least, not that I remember... there might be an exception to this... some odd ball bushing somewhere? I don't remember there being though.

I almost NEVER use that star selection giving the blue outline. That's great for newer players but, will become unnecessary when you've gotten pretty experienced with the game. The test tools are your best source--then visual inspections for final checks. You can almost always see a worn part just by how it looks... unless it's still in the green for condition level. Then it becomes difficult to tell it's worn by visually looking at it. But, the inspection mode should reveal it. Ofc, a lot of parts don't let you do the inspection--requiring you to pull the part to check it.

Edit: Obviously, you need to be able to start the car in order to use test tracks. Always fix engine issues first so it runs.

once you have repaired enough cars, you'll figure out better where the rubber bushings are even without that. One on each corner of the Crossmember(by that, I mean the large piece under the engine), and then there'll typically be a couple on the rear part of the suspension. Small Rubber bushings on each side of each of the Leaf Springs, and typically on the suspension arms. I say this because even if its not broken, when I first started out I always tried to finish an order and it'd always say there's a missing Rubber Bushing and I took forever to find it.
