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

Polyurethane bushings are generally more durable and resistant to degradation from heat, road salt, and UV exposure compared to stock rubber bushings. This can lead to a longer service life and a firmer suspension feel.

Do these bushings come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the control arm bushings themselves. It's recommended to inspect and potentially replace other suspension components like ball joints and tie rod ends during installation, as these are not included.

What kind of difference can I expect in driving feel after installing these?

You can expect a noticeable improvement in steering response and a reduction in unwanted flex or looseness in the front suspension. This often translates to a more connected and precise feel when cornering.

Product Details

If you're working on a classic GM front-wheel-drive car from the mid-60s to mid-70s, like a Chevrolet Chevelle, Pontiac Firebird, or Buick Skylark, and you're looking to tighten up the front suspension, these Prothane control arm bushings are a solid option. They replace the original rubber bushings, which tend to degrade and get soft over time, leading to sloppy steering and less precise handling.

Made from Prothane's polyurethane material, these bushings are designed to offer a firmer ride than stock rubber. Polyurethane is known for its durability and resistance to the elements, which means they should last a long time. Replacing the old, worn-out rubber with these new, well-built polyurethane parts can make a noticeable difference in how your car steers and handles, especially during cornering. They fit directly into the stock control arms, making them a straightforward replacement for a common wear item.

When you're replacing control arm bushings, it's a good idea to inspect your ball joints and tie rod ends at the same time, as they often wear out around the same mileage. Having these new bushings installed can help restore some of that factory-fresh feel to your classic GM vehicle's steering.
