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

Polyurethane bushings are generally more durable and resistant to wear and tear than rubber. They offer a firmer ride and improved handling response because they flex less under load.

Does this kit include all the bushings needed for the rear leaf springs and shackles?

This kit is designed to replace the spring and shackle bushings for your specified Ford truck application. It's always a good idea to inspect all your suspension components to ensure everything else is in good condition.

What makes this kit specific to trucks with 'molded shackles'?

The 'molded shackles' designation refers to a specific design of the shackle link used in certain Ford truck models and years. This kit's dimensions and shape are made to match that particular shackle style for a proper fit.

Product Details

If you're working on the suspension of your 1980-1997 Ford truck that uses molded shackles, these red spring bushings from Prothane are what you need. Worn-out rubber bushings can lead to a sloppy ride, clunking noises, and reduced handling precision. Replacing them with new, well-built polyurethane bushings helps restore that factory-fresh feel and keeps your suspension components working as they should.

Prothane uses a durable polyurethane material that holds up well under the stresses of daily driving and off-road use. This kit is designed to replace the stock bushings in your leaf springs and shackles, ensuring a snug fit and proper alignment. Polyurethane offers a good balance of stiffness for improved control without making the ride overly harsh, a common issue with some harder materials.

This set is specifically for Ford trucks from 1980 through 1997 that came equipped with molded shackles from the factory. Make sure to check your existing setup to confirm this is the correct kit for your application.
