Construction & Design:

Prothane bushings are crafted from premium-grade polyurethane, a material known for its excellent balance of stiffness and flexibility. This construction allows the bushings to absorb vibrations and impacts while maintaining firm control arm positioning. Unlike traditional rubber bushings that degrade and compress over time, Prothane’s polyurethane resists cracking, swelling, and deformation caused by exposure to heat, oil, and road chemicals.

The bushings are precision molded to match the exact dimensions of the factory control arm mounts, ensuring a snug fit that prevents unwanted movement. The vibrant red finish not only adds a visual upgrade but also serves as a protective coating to extend the life of the bushing.

Installation of the Prothane front control arm bushings is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the original equipment. No special tools or modifications are necessary, making it suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
