What is the benefit of polyurethane bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings are more resistant to wear and tear than rubber, and they hold their shape better over time. This leads to more consistent suspension geometry and a more direct steering feel.

Do these bushings come with new shells?

No, this specific kit is designed to be installed without the original metal shells. You will be reusing the control arm bores to seat the new polyurethane bushings.

What tools might I need for installation?

You'll likely need basic hand tools, a way to safely lift and support your vehicle, and potentially a press or specialized tool to properly seat the new bushings into the control arms. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

Product Details

Prothane is known for making durable polyurethane suspension components, and these front control arm bushings are a solid example. If you're working on a classic Ford or Mercury, these are designed to replace the stock rubber bushings in your front control arms. Worn-out control arm bushings can lead to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and a general feeling of looseness in the front end, so replacing them is a key step in restoring your vehicle's handling. This set is made from Prothane's black polyurethane material, which offers a good balance of durability and performance for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Gran Torino, Ford LTD, and Mercury Cougar.

These bushings are designed to fit without the original metal shells, simplifying installation in some cases. Polyurethane is a popular choice for suspension upgrades because it holds its shape better than rubber, leading to more consistent alignment and a more direct feel from the steering wheel. When you're installing these, make sure to clean out the control arm bores thoroughly to ensure a good fit and long service life for the new bushings.
