One
of the best and most economical ways to improve performance
is to replace factory rubber bushings with polyurethane
bushings. The perfect hardness of polyurethane bushings
provides for quick and precise control. Factory rubber
bushings are soft and give under load causing the steering
and suspension components to bind. Polyurethane bushings
are free floating and non-binding which allows the suspension
to work more smoothly. Here are some examples of what
we mean:
Sway
Bar Bushings: The easiest and best improvement
in performance handling you can make without upscaling
your sway bars. They allow 100% use of your bar
unlike rubber bushings which give under load.
Rear
Leaf Spring Bushings:
Polyurethane bushings help the rest of your suspension
to function properly and give a “positive”
feel when accelerating, cornering, braking and taking
on bumps and berms.
Radius
Arm Bushings: They help your suspension to travel
throughout its full range without binding and assist
in maintaining proper alignment.
Body
and Cab Mounts: Still allow for a smooth ride,
yet are rugged enough for the roughest off road
conditions. Body and cab mounts help decrease excessive
body roll and shifting.
Control
Arm Bushings: These help maintain proper front
end caster and camber alignment, and are pre-lubricated
to inhibit squeaks.
