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

Polyurethane is a more durable material than rubber and resists degradation from road contaminants and temperature fluctuations. This means they tend to last longer and maintain their firmness, helping to keep your suspension feeling tight.

Do these bushings come with any hardware?

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

How difficult is it to install these strut arm bushings?

Installation typically involves removing the old rubber bushings and pressing in the new polyurethane ones. It's a job that can often be done with basic hand tools, but refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific procedures.

Product Details

Made from Prothane's signature red polyurethane, these strut arm bushings are built to handle the stresses of daily driving and spirited use. They replace the original rubber bushings in the front strut arms of a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford LTD, Gran Torino, and Mercury Cougar. When the stock bushings wear out, they can lead to sloppy handling and a less connected feel to the road, but these polyurethane replacements offer a solid and durable solution.

Polyurethane is a well-built material that resists the wear and tear that rubber can succumb to, especially from road contaminants and temperature changes. By installing these bushings, you're essentially giving your front suspension a fresh start, helping to improve steering precision and overall stability. They are designed to fit right into the factory strut arm locations, making them a practical choice for anyone looking to refresh their vehicle's suspension feel without major modifications.
