Prothane Front Control Arm Bushings
2005–2010 Chrysler 300C / Dodge Challenger / Charger / Magnum V8
4-218-BL
Overview:
The Prothane Front Control Arm Bushings are a high-performance suspension upgrade designed specifically for V8-powered Chrysler 300C (2005–2010), Dodge Challenger (2008–2010), Dodge Charger (2006–2010), and Dodge Magnum (2005–2008) models. These bushings replace the factory rubber components with durable polyurethane, addressing the common issue of soft, spongy stock bushings that compromise handling and stability. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking sharper steering response and improved suspension control, this kit enhances the driving dynamics of the LX platform without sacrificing ride quality.
By upgrading to Prothane’s urethane bushings, drivers experience more precise control and better feedback from the front suspension, making it a perfect choice for both street performance and spirited driving.
Key Features:
Prothane’s Front Control Arm Bushings offer a range of benefits that improve suspension performance and longevity:
- Constructed from high-quality polyurethane for superior durability over factory rubber bushings
- Resistant to oil, gas, and other automotive fluids, ensuring long-lasting performance
- Reduces suspension deflection to improve handling precision and vehicle stability
- Designed specifically for V8 LX platform vehicles for a perfect fit and function
- Improves steering response and suspension feedback for enhanced driver confidence
- Available in both red and black urethane to suit aesthetic preferences
- Helps maintain proper suspension geometry under aggressive driving conditions
- Made-to-order with attention to quality and fitment accuracy
Construction & Design:
Prothane bushings are engineered from premium-grade polyurethane, a material chosen for its exceptional resistance to wear, chemicals, and environmental factors that degrade traditional rubber bushings. This urethane formulation maintains its shape and firmness over time, preventing the excessive flex and deformation common with stock components. The bushings are precision-molded to match the exact dimensions of the factory control arm mounts, ensuring a seamless installation and optimal suspension alignment.
The enhanced stiffness of the polyurethane bushings reduces unwanted suspension movement, translating to improved handling characteristics without introducing harshness or excessive NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) into the cabin.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Prothane Front Control Arm Bushings is a direct replacement for the factory rubber bushings on the specified V8 LX platform vehicles. While professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment, the kit is designed to fit without the need for modifications or additional components. These bushings are compatible with the front control arms of the Chrysler 300C (2005–2010), Dodge Challenger (2008–2010), Dodge Charger (2006–2010), and Dodge Magnum (2005–2008) equipped with V8 engines.
Due to the urethane material’s increased stiffness, some users may notice a firmer ride feel, which is a trade-off for improved handling precision and suspension control.
What's Included:
- Complete set of front control arm bushings for both left and right sides
- All necessary hardware and sleeves for installation
- Detailed installation instructions
Ideal For:
This bushing kit is ideal for LX platform owners who want to upgrade their suspension for better handling and durability. It suits enthusiasts who drive their Chrysler 300C, Dodge Challenger, Charger, or Magnum aggressively on the street or track and desire more responsive steering and improved suspension stability without a full suspension overhaul. It is also a smart choice for those replacing worn or deteriorated factory bushings seeking a long-lasting, performance-oriented solution.
