Product Details

If you're working on the rear suspension of your 1957-1972 Ford F100 or F150, replacing the old, worn-out spring and shackle bushings is a key step to restoring a smooth ride and proper handling. These Prothane bushings are made from a durable black polyurethane material that holds up well under the stresses of daily driving and hauling.

Polyurethane is a popular choice for suspension components because it offers a good balance of flexibility and stiffness. Unlike rubber, which can degrade and crack over time, polyurethane maintains its shape and resilience, helping to reduce unwanted movement and noise from the rear suspension. This kit includes the necessary bushings to replace the worn ones in your rear leaf springs and shackles, contributing to a more solid feel from your truck's rear end.

When you're installing these, make sure to clean out the spring eyes and shackle brackets thoroughly. The black color of these bushings offers a clean, understated look once installed. This kit is designed to fit directly into the factory locations, making the replacement process straightforward.
