A suspension system for a vehicle platform comprises a control arm comprising an outboard portion and one or more inboard portions, and one or more eccentric bushings for linking the control arm to a frame of the vehicle platform. Each of the one or more bushings includes an annular outer sleeve seated in an opening of a respective inboard portion of the one or more inboard portions, an inner sleeve assembly nonconcentrically surrounded by the annular outer sleeve, for fixed coupling to the frame of the vehicle platform, and an elastomeric material bonded to both the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve assembly, the elastomeric material being at least partly deformable to absorb a torque applied thereto by the outer sleeve.
