What is the main benefit of using polyurethane bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane is more resistant to wear, cracking, and degradation from road chemicals and temperature changes compared to rubber. This means they tend to last longer and maintain their stiffness for a more consistent suspension feel.

Do these bushings come with new hardware?

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings only. You will need to reuse your existing hardware or source new hardware separately for installation.

What is the typical installation process for these bushings?

Installation generally involves removing the old, worn rubber bushings from the spring eyes and shackles, then pressing or carefully hammering the new Prothane bushings into place. It's a common job for suspension work on these vehicles.

Product Details

This is a set of black polyurethane spring bushings from Prothane, designed to fit a range of Chrysler A-body vehicles from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. If you're working on a classic like a Dodge Dart, Plymouth Barracuda, or Plymouth Valiant, these bushings are a direct replacement for your stock rubber ones. Worn-out spring bushings can lead to a sloppy ride, poor handling, and excessive noise, so replacing them is a key step in restoring your suspension's performance.

Polyurethane is a popular choice for suspension components because it's more durable and resistant to the elements than rubber. These Prothane bushings are well-built to handle the stresses of daily driving and offer a noticeable improvement in how your suspension reacts. They help keep your leaf springs properly located, which can make a difference in how your vehicle handles corners and absorbs road imperfections. Installation involves pressing out the old bushings and pressing in the new ones, a common task when rebuilding or refreshing a classic suspension.
