Why Polyurethane Bushings?
Twenty-five miles south of Ensenada in the 1969 Baja 500,our rubber bushings actually disappeared! By our next race,we had installed black urethane strut arm bushings. The black urethane bushings drew little attention until we decided to offer them in blue. Polyurethane is far superior to rubber because it is not degraded by ozone, is wear resistant, and is self lubricating. It also withstands temperature extremes, absorbs vibrations and is resistant to automotive and road chemicals. After the struts,the tracking bar and C-bushings were quick to follow. Each bushing s rebound and compression needs were determined and then the bushings were formulated and engineered for optimum performance. In Early Broncos, C-Bushings have actually been known to fall out. We patented our C-Bushings with retaining lips to keep them from slipping out,and various degrees of caster adjustment for proper alignment. Beware, other brands are hand poured which leads to poor quality due to inconsistencies in th
