Struts might be passive braces reinforcing the chassis or active components of your suspension.

Your struts may require service if you find your vehicle shaking or bouncing after hitting a bump in the road.
Control arms are hinged suspension links between the chassis and the suspension.
You should always have your steering inspected if you feel your vehicle pulling.
Bushings in your suspension are most commonly made of (synthetic) rubber and separate metal objects while still permitting a degree of movement. This allows the suspension parts to move freely when going over bumps, while also reducing grinding noise and small vibrations.
