What is the main advantage of using polyurethane bushings over the original rubber ones?

Polyurethane bushings are generally more durable and resistant to degradation from oils, water, and extreme temperatures compared to rubber. This means they tend to last longer and maintain their performance characteristics over time.

What does 'outer bushing kit' mean for the front upper control arm?

This kit specifically replaces the bushings located at the outer pivot points of your front upper control arms, where they connect to the steering knuckle or spindle. It does not include the inner bushings that connect to the chassis.

Does this kit come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the control arm bushings themselves. It's recommended to inspect any associated hardware, such as sleeves or bolts, during installation and replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.

Austin Healey Sprite 1958-1970

Product Details

If you're working on the front end of your 1958 Austin Healey Sprite, these control arm bushings are a key part of the suspension system. They act as the pivot point for your upper control arms, connecting them to the chassis. When these wear out, you'll notice a sloppy feel in the steering, uneven tire wear, and a general lack of responsiveness from your car's handling.

This kit from Superpro uses a special polyurethane compound that's a step up from the original rubber bushings. Polyurethane is known for being more durable and resistant to things like oil, water, and extreme temperatures, which means these bushings should last longer. Superpro has been developing suspension parts in Australia for a long time, and they focus on making parts that improve handling without making the ride uncomfortable. These bushings are designed to give you better road manners while still isolating the cabin from road noise.

This kit is designed to fit right into your Sprite's front upper control arms, replacing the worn-out outer bushings. It's a solid option for restoring that tight, responsive feel to your classic Austin Healey.
