Construction & Design:
Prothane sway bar bushings are crafted from premium-grade polyurethane, a material known for its superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional rubber. This construction allows the bushings to maintain their shape and performance characteristics over time, even under harsh environmental conditions and heavy loads. The bushings are precision molded to fit the 33mm front sway bars of the specified Dodge models, ensuring a snug and secure fit that prevents excessive sway bar movement.
The polyurethane compound used is engineered to resist degradation from exposure to oils, greases, and road salts, which commonly cause premature failure in factory rubber bushings. This robust design translates to improved suspension consistency and longer intervals between replacements.
