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

Polyurethane is more resistant to degradation from heat, road chemicals, and UV exposure compared to rubber. This means Prothane bushings tend to last longer and maintain their firmness, offering a more consistent suspension feel over time.

Does this kit include all the bushings for the entire suspension?

Yes, this is a 'Total Kit' designed to replace the majority of the rubber bushings found in the suspension system of your 1976-1979 Firebird, including control arm and sway bar bushings.

Will I need any special tools for installation?

Installation typically requires standard automotive hand tools, including wrenches and sockets, as well as potentially a press or specialized bushing removal tools depending on the specific location. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed requirements.

Product Details

If you're looking to refresh the suspension on your 1976-1979 Pontiac Firebird, this total bushing kit from Prothane is a solid option. It replaces all the rubber bushings in your car's suspension system with durable polyurethane, which can make a noticeable difference in how the car handles and feels on the road. Worn-out rubber bushings can lead to sloppy steering, poor alignment, and a generally vague feeling from the chassis, so replacing them is a key step in restoring that classic Firebird's performance.

This kit is made from Prothane's well-known polyurethane material, which is designed to be more resilient and longer-lasting than stock rubber. Polyurethane doesn't degrade as quickly from road contaminants or temperature changes, meaning these bushings should hold up well over time. The black color gives a clean, understated look under the car. Installing a full kit like this means you're addressing all the key pivot points in the suspension, from the control arms to the sway bars, ensuring a more consistent and responsive feel.

When you're tackling a job like this, it's a good idea to have a solid understanding of your suspension geometry. While these are direct replacement bushings, having a shop perform a professional alignment after installation is highly recommended to get the most out of the new components and ensure proper tire wear.
