A conduit bushing is used when a conduit is terminated in a junction box or enclosure. Its purpose is to provide a smooth rounded surface so that when the wire is pulled into the conduit the insulation on the wire will not be damaged.

No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means. It is now required to have a green ground wire pulled into the conduit with the other conductors in the flexible conduit. This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use

Saturn S series vehicles do not use a Strut arm... nor do they have a Strut arm bushing. I'm assuming your referring to the sway bar bushing in the center of the lower control arm. This bushing is not serviceable alone, the replacement of the entire lower control arm is needed if the bushing has failed.


At what voltage do you need to use double locknuts on Rigid Metal Conduit?

There are no voltage regulations. A rigid conduit system used two locknuts and one bushing at every connection to a junction box unless the box has a hub. One outside the box and the other locknut inside the box. These are tightened against each other to make the connection secure and to scratch the paint on the outside of the box to make continuity of the metallic system. Continuity of the system is a must as this is the return path for any short circuit that might occur. Rigid connections to fittings require no locknuts as the conduit's threaded end screws into the fitting.
