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

Polyurethane bushings are more resistant to tearing, abrasion, and degradation from road chemicals and temperature changes compared to rubber. This means they typically last longer and maintain their shape better, leading to a more consistent suspension feel.

Does this kit include all the bushings needed for the rear leaf springs and shackles?

Yes, this kit is designed to replace the essential spring eye and shackle bushings for the rear leaf spring suspension system on compatible Chrysler A-body vehicles.

Will these bushings make my ride much harsher?

While polyurethane is firmer than rubber, Prothane's compound is formulated to offer a balance between stiffness for improved handling and enough compliance to absorb road imperfections. Many users report a more responsive feel without an overly harsh ride.

Product Details

If you're looking to firm up the rear suspension on your classic Mopar A-body, replacing worn-out rubber bushings with a set of Prothane's heavy-duty polyurethane bushings is a smart move. This kit is specifically designed for the 1968-1972 Chrysler A-body platform, including popular models like the Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant, and it addresses the spring eye bushings and shackle bushings. Worn bushings can lead to sloppy handling, poor alignment, and uneven tire wear, so a fresh set makes a noticeable difference in how your car feels on the road.

Prothane uses a durable polyurethane compound that's tougher than stock rubber but still offers enough flex to absorb road shock without making the ride overly harsh. This material resists tearing and degradation from road grime and temperature changes, ensuring a long service life. By tightening up the connection points for your leaf springs and shackles, you'll experience improved throttle response and more predictable handling, especially when cornering or braking. This kit fits a wide range of Chrysler A-body vehicles from 1960 through 1976, making it a popular choice for restoration and performance builds.
