Construction & Design:
These bushings are crafted from Energy Suspension’s advanced Hyper-Flex™ polyurethane compound, a proprietary formula developed to balance stiffness and flexibility. This material is engineered to absorb road vibrations while maintaining firm control over steering components, preventing the looseness and play often experienced with aging rubber bushings. The precision molding process ensures consistent dimensions and fitment, allowing for easy installation and reliable performance over time.
The bright red finish is not only visually distinctive but also indicates the use of high-quality polyurethane designed to resist cracking, splitting, and deterioration caused by heat, moisture, and road contaminants. This construction ensures that the bushings maintain their integrity and performance in demanding driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Energy Suspension front rack and pinion bushing set is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills and tools. The bushings are designed as direct replacements for the original rubber components on 1997–2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998–2003 Dodge Durango models, requiring no modifications or special adapters. Removal of the old bushings and pressing in the new polyurethane units restores tight steering rack mounting and eliminates unwanted movement.
For best results, it is recommended to have the vehicle’s steering alignment checked and adjusted after installation. This ensures optimal handling and tire wear. Professional installation is advised if you are unfamiliar with suspension or steering component work.
