What is polyurethane and why is it used for bushings?

Polyurethane is a strong synthetic material that is more durable and resistant to wear than standard rubber. It holds its shape well under stress and doesn't degrade as easily from exposure to oils, road chemicals, or temperature fluctuations, making it a popular choice for suspension components.

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

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings themselves. You will need to reuse your original control arm hardware or source new hardware separately for installation.

How difficult is it to install these rear control arm bushings?

Replacing control arm bushings typically requires removing the control arm from the vehicle and pressing out the old bushings. While it's a job that can be done with basic tools, it's often recommended to have some mechanical experience or consult a professional if you're not familiar with suspension work.

Product Details

Prothane is well-known for making durable polyurethane suspension components. If you're working on the rear suspension of your 1970-1978 Datsun 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z, these rear control arm bushings are a solid option to consider. Over time, the rubber bushings in your control arms can crack and wear out, leading to sloppy handling and less precise steering. Replacing them with these polyurethane units can help restore that tight, responsive feel you want from your classic Z car.

These bushings are made from Prothane's signature red polyurethane, a material chosen for its strength and resistance to wear. Unlike stock rubber, polyurethane doesn't degrade as easily from road contaminants or temperature changes, meaning they should last a good long while. They are designed to fit directly into your stock control arms, making the replacement process straightforward for someone comfortable with suspension work. You'll likely notice an improvement in how the car handles corners and responds to steering inputs after installation.
