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

Polyurethane bushings are more resistant to wear and tear than rubber, meaning they tend to last longer. They also maintain their shape better, providing a more consistent suspension feel over time and resisting the 'sloppy' feeling that worn rubber can develop.

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

Yes, this kit is designed to replace the bushings in the eyes of your rear leaf springs and the bushings within the shackles themselves, addressing the key pivot points of the rear suspension.

What tools might I need to install these bushings?

Installation typically requires tools to remove the old bushings, such as a press or a specialized bushing removal tool. The new bushings may also require a press for proper installation due to their tight fit.

Product Details

If you're working on the suspension of your 1987-1994 Nissan D21 4WD, replacing the old, cracked spring and shackle bushings is a key step. These bushings are critical for absorbing road shock and allowing your suspension to move correctly. Worn bushings can lead to a sloppy ride, clunking noises, and uneven tire wear.

This kit from Prothane uses their red polyurethane material, which is known for being durable and offering a good balance between ride comfort and performance. Polyurethane holds its shape better than rubber, so you get a more consistent feel from your suspension over time. This kit includes the necessary bushings to replace the ones in your leaf spring eyes and shackles, helping to restore proper articulation and reduce unwanted movement.

When you're tackling this job, it's a good idea to have a way to press out the old bushings and press in the new ones, as they can be a tight fit. Replacing these will make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles bumps and corners.
