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

Polyurethane is a well-built material that resists deflection and degradation better than stock rubber. This means it holds its shape under load, helping to maintain proper suspension alignment and providing a more direct steering feel.

Does this kit include all the bushings needed for the front control arms?

Yes, this Prothane kit includes both the upper and lower control arm bushings for your Toyota Pickup or 4Runner 4WD, allowing you to replace all the pivot point bushings on the front control arms.

What tools are typically needed to install these control arm bushings?

Installation typically involves removing the control arms, pressing out the old bushings, and pressing in the new ones. You'll likely need a ball joint separator, a socket set, a pry bar, and a bushing press or a vise to install the new bushings correctly. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

Product Details

When you're tackling suspension work on your 1979-1983 Toyota Pickup or 4Runner 4WD, replacing worn control arm bushings is a key step to restoring proper alignment and handling. Old rubber bushings can crack and degrade over time, leading to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and a less connected feel to the road. This kit from Prothane uses red polyurethane to give your truck's suspension a solid upgrade.

Polyurethane is a well-built material that holds its shape better than stock rubber, resisting the kind of deflection that causes alignment issues. By installing these, you'll notice an improved sense of control and a more responsive steering feel. They are designed to fit directly into the factory control arms, making the installation process straightforward for someone comfortable with suspension components.

This set includes both upper and lower control arm bushings, so you can refresh the entire control arm pivot point. It's a practical way to ensure your suspension is working as it should, especially if you're rebuilding the front end or addressing steering looseness.
