These bushings are crafted from premium-grade polyurethane, a material known for its superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional rubber. The polyurethane compound used by Prothane is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to road salts, oils, and extreme temperatures. This construction ensures the bushings retain their shape and performance characteristics over time, preventing premature wear and suspension sag.
The design replicates the OEM dimensions and tolerances, allowing for a seamless swap without the need for modifications. The black finish not only enhances durability but also provides a sleek look that complements the undercarriage of your Dodge Ram.
