Construction & Design:
Prothane steering rack bushings are crafted from premium-grade polyurethane, a material known for its excellent combination of flexibility and toughness. Unlike traditional rubber bushings, polyurethane resists cracking, drying out, and deformation caused by heat and exposure to road contaminants. This ensures that the bushings maintain their shape and performance characteristics over extended periods.
The bushings are precision molded to match the exact dimensions of the original equipment, allowing for straightforward installation without the need for modifications. The polyurethane formulation also provides a slight cushioning effect to absorb minor vibrations while maintaining firm control over steering rack movement.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Prothane steering rack bushings is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory components on Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks from 2002 to 2007. No special tools or modifications are typically required, making it accessible for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
For best results, it is recommended to inspect the steering rack and related components during installation to ensure all parts are in good condition. Proper installation will restore steering precision and help prevent premature wear of other steering system components.
