What exactly is included in this bushing kit?

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings needed to replace the front control arm bushings on your vehicle. You will receive the specific number of bushings required for the front control arms as per the original design.

How does polyurethane compare to rubber for control arm bushings?

Polyurethane is a denser, more durable material than rubber. It resists wear and deformation better, leading to improved steering feel and suspension responsiveness. While it offers a firmer ride, it generally lasts longer than stock rubber bushings.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Installation typically involves pressing out the old bushings and pressing in the new ones. While it can be done with basic tools, a hydraulic press or a specialized bushing removal/installation tool can make the job easier and prevent damage to the control arm.

Product Details

This kit includes the necessary polyurethane bushings to replace the worn-out rubber ones on the front control arms of your 1974-1979 GM vehicle. These bushings are made from a durable polyurethane material, which is known for its resistance to wear and tear compared to traditional rubber. Replacing your old, cracked, or collapsed control arm bushings is a key step in restoring your vehicle's steering feel and suspension responsiveness.

Polyurethane offers a firmer ride than stock rubber bushings, which can lead to more direct steering feedback and a noticeable improvement in how your car handles corners. Because they are a solid material, they resist deflection under load, helping to keep your suspension geometry more consistent. This set is designed to fit a wide range of GM models from the mid-70s to the end of the decade, including popular cars like the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Buick Regal.

When you're installing these, make sure to clean out the control arm pockets thoroughly. Old rubber can leave behind residue that needs to be removed for the new bushings to seat properly. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to refresh their classic GM's front suspension.
