What are the symptoms of a failed rubber bushing?
Loose suspension parts, constant mis-alignment, and annoying noises are common symptoms of a failed rubber bushing. If you use rubber to replace failed rubber, don’t be surprised to find yourself in a similar situation several years down the road. For some people that’s okay.
Why are polyurethane bushings used in suspensions?
Polyurethane bushing engineers design the hardness bushings specifically for each vehicle. By utilizing the best durometer for each bushing in a suspension, the result is a careful balance between NVH and performance.
What makes a polyurethane bushing squeak when installed?
A mechanical bond occurs when the larger polyurethane bushing is installed into the slightly smaller hole. The pressure between the bushing and the metal keeps the bushing centered. With this mechanical bond, the opportunity for the polyurethane to squeak is opened up.
Why are Kevlar bushings used in polyurethane suspension?
By weaving Kevlar into polyurethane you increase the tensile strength, heat resistance, and tear resistance of a bushing, without increasing the hardness (durometer). These bushings will give you excellent performance by reducing the amount of deflection and keeping the alignment angles of your suspension parts secure.
How many bushings are in a universal polyurethane set?
Each set includes 4 bushings halves and 2 metal sleeves. These bushings have Kevlar weaved into a polyurethane blend to provide an even more durable performance bushing with incredible tensile strength while maintaining the comfort level of other aftermarket replacement bushings.
What can a universal bushing be used for?
These universal bushings can be used for a variety of applications such as: Fits many of the more common 4 Bar systems. These are typically found in hot rods, custom rods and many of the older American vehicles. But these aren’t limited to just vehicles, they can fit any need you have!
Where can I get polyurethane bushing for my car?
These are typically found in hot rods, custom rods and many of the older American vehicles. But these aren’t limited to just vehicles, they can fit any need you have! If you’re looking for a heavy duty bushing with high tensile strength and tear resistance then check out our Kevlar-Infused Polyurethane Bushings.
