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

Polyurethane bushings are generally more resistant to degradation from road contaminants and UV exposure compared to rubber. They also tend to hold their shape better over time, which can lead to more consistent suspension performance and a longer service life.

Does this kit include all the bushings needed for the front shackles?

This kit is specifically for the front shackle locations on your Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or Scrambler. It's always a good idea to inspect all your suspension bushings to see if other areas also need attention.

Product Details

Prothane is known for making well-built suspension and drivetrain components, and these front shackle bushings are a prime example. If you're working on your 1976-1986 Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or Scrambler and notice sloppy handling or excessive body roll, worn-out shackle bushings are often the culprit. Replacing them with a fresh set from Prothane can make a notable difference in how your Jeep feels on the road and trails.

These bushings are made from Prothane's polyurethane material, which is a popular choice for suspension upgrades because it offers a good balance of durability and performance. Unlike stock rubber bushings that can degrade and crack over time, polyurethane holds its shape better and resists the common contaminants found on the road or trail. This means they'll likely last longer and help keep your suspension geometry consistent, contributing to more predictable handling.

This set is designed to fit the front shackle locations on your Jeep. When you're replacing these, it's a good time to inspect the rest of your suspension components to ensure everything is in good working order.
