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

Polyurethane is a stiffer material than rubber, meaning it resists deformation better. This helps maintain suspension geometry under load, leading to improved handling and a more direct feel from the suspension.

Does this kit include everything needed to replace the rear control arm bushings?

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings for both the upper and lower rear control arms. You will need to reuse your existing control arm hardware or source new hardware separately.

How difficult is the installation of these control arm bushings?

Installation involves removing the rear control arms from the vehicle and pressing out the old bushings to install the new ones. It's a job that requires some mechanical knowledge and tools, typically considered a moderate difficulty installation.

Product Details

If you're looking to tighten up the rear suspension on your 1996-2000 Honda Civic, replacing worn-out rubber control arm bushings is a smart move. These Prothane polyurethane bushings are designed to replace the stock rubber ones, giving you a more direct feel from your suspension and helping to reduce unwanted movement during acceleration and braking.

Polyurethane is a well-built material that holds its shape better than rubber, which means your suspension geometry stays more consistent. This can lead to improved steering response and a more planted feel on the road, especially when you're pushing the car a bit. Since these are a direct replacement for your original bushings, installation is straightforward, though it does require removing the control arms from the vehicle.

This kit includes both the upper and lower control arm bushings for the rear of your Civic, so you can address all the key pivot points at once. It's a popular choice for enthusiasts looking for a noticeable improvement in their car's handling characteristics.
