What is the main benefit of polyurethane control arm bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings are more rigid than rubber, offering a firmer connection between suspension components and the chassis. This results in improved steering response and a more direct feel from the road, as there's less flex and deflection.

Do these bushings come with any hardware?

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings themselves. You will typically need to reuse your original control arm hardware or source new hardware separately for installation.

Will these bushings make my ride much harsher?

While polyurethane bushings offer a firmer ride than stock rubber, they are designed to improve handling without making the ride excessively harsh for daily driving. The exact feel can depend on other suspension components and alignment settings.

Product Details

If you're looking to tighten up the front end of your 1998-2005 Subaru Impreza, especially if you're noticing some looseness or vagueness in the steering, replacing the stock rubber control arm bushings is a smart move. These Prothane bushings are made from a durable polyurethane material that offers a more solid connection between your control arms and the chassis compared to the original rubber ones. This means you'll likely feel a more direct connection to the road and improved steering precision.

Polyurethane is known for its ability to hold its shape under load, which helps maintain proper suspension geometry during hard cornering or braking. While rubber can flex and deform, leading to less predictable handling, these Prothane bushings offer a firmer ride and more consistent suspension performance. They are a well-built option for drivers looking for a noticeable improvement in how their car handles, especially during spirited driving or track use.

When installing these, you'll want to make sure the control arms are properly aligned afterward to get the most benefit. It's a common upgrade for Impreza owners looking to get more out of their suspension setup.
