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

Polyurethane is more resistant to degradation from road contaminants, UV rays, and temperature changes compared to rubber. This means they tend to last longer and maintain their firmness for a more consistent suspension feel over time.

What areas of the rear suspension do these bushings cover?

This kit replaces the bushings located in the eyes of the rear leaf springs, as well as the bushings found in the spring shackles. These are critical pivot points for the rear suspension's movement.

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

This kit typically includes the polyurethane bushings themselves. You may need to reuse some of your original hardware or source specific installation tools, so it's always a good idea to inspect your existing components before starting the job.

Product Details

Made from Prothane's signature red polyurethane, these bushings are a solid choice for replacing the worn-out rubber components in the rear suspension of your 1968-1972 Ford F100 or F150 2WD. Polyurethane is known for being more durable and resistant to the elements than stock rubber, meaning these bushings can handle the stresses of daily driving and hauling without breaking down as quickly. They fit into both the rear spring eyes and the shackle points, addressing key areas that affect how your truck rides and handles.

When your original bushings start to degrade, you might notice clunking noises over bumps, a general looseness in the rear end, or even a less stable feeling when cornering. Swapping to these polyurethane parts helps restore that tight, responsive feel. Because they're a direct replacement for the factory parts, installation is straightforward for someone familiar with suspension work, typically involving removing the old, degraded rubber and pressing in the new, well-built polyurethane pieces.
