What is wheel roll-under and how do these bushings help?

Wheel roll-under is the tendency for the front of a vehicle to dip excessively when braking hard. This happens because the original rubber bushings can compress and deform. These polyurethane bushings are stiffer and resist deformation, helping to keep the front end more stable and reduce that dipping motion.

Are these bushings difficult to install?

Installation typically involves removing the old rubber bushings and pressing in the new polyurethane ones. While not a complex part, it's recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for the proper procedure.

What is the difference between these and stock rubber bushings?

Stock rubber bushings are softer and designed for comfort, but they can wear out quickly and allow for more suspension flex. These polyurethane bushings are a well-built alternative that offer improved performance and durability, maintaining better suspension geometry under load.

Mazda RX-7 1979-1985

Product Details

When you're pushing your 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7 hard, especially during abrupt stops or hard launches, you might notice the front end feeling a bit unstable. That's often due to the original rubber strut rod bushings softening and allowing too much movement. This set of front strut rod bushings from Energy Suspension is designed to replace those worn-out rubber parts with a more solid polyurethane alternative.

These bushings are made from Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane, a well-built material that holds its shape better than stock rubber. This means less unwanted flex in the strut rod during braking, which helps maintain better alignment and reduces that common wheel roll-under effect. For RX-7s equipped with performance tires, this improved stability can make a noticeable difference in how the car handles under stress. They're a popular choice for drivers looking to firm up the front suspension feel.
