Construction & Design:
These control arm bushings are crafted from Energy Suspension’s proprietary Hyper-Flex polyurethane, a material engineered to provide the ideal balance of stiffness and flexibility. Unlike rubber, polyurethane resists deformation and deterioration caused by heat, oil, and road contaminants. The full floating design allows the bushing to move freely within the control arm, reducing binding and ensuring consistent suspension geometry throughout the suspension travel.
The black polyurethane material is precision molded to exact OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting performance. This robust construction helps maintain suspension integrity and alignment, even under aggressive driving or heavy load conditions.
Performance & Sound
Upgrading to Energy Suspension’s polyurethane bushings enhances your vehicle’s handling characteristics by reducing unwanted suspension deflection and maintaining precise control arm positioning. This results in sharper cornering response, improved steering feedback, and increased overall stability. Additionally, the polyurethane material dampens vibrations more effectively than worn rubber bushings, contributing to a smoother and quieter ride.
Installation & Fitment:
This bushing set is designed for direct replacement of the front control arm bushings on compatible Dodge Dakota and Durango models. Installation requires removal of the stock rubber bushings and pressing in the new polyurethane components. No modifications to the control arms or suspension components are necessary, making this an accessible upgrade for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
