Attention all Jeep owners with Rubicon Express control arms: due to overwhelming demand, Daystar now offers heavy-duty polyurethane bushings available that replace the troublesome rubber hourglass bushings used in the company's long-arm and short-arm kits. Specially... formulated from a unique new blend of polyurethane, these bushings have much of the same elasticity as the original rubber bushings, yet are capable of surviving the most demanding off-road conditions.

Designed as direct replacements for the larger and smaller "hourglass" bushings used in upper and lower RE control arms, no modifications to the arms themselves are needed and even the original sleeves can be re-used. They are packaged in sets of eight; four large and four small bushings in each kit.

Suspension designs that utilize control arms offer several benefits over solid-axle designs. However, the bushings that serve as the pivot points for the control arms get a real work out, and over time, they wear out. Symptoms of worn control arm bushings include suspension noise and clunking while cornering and the inability to hold an alignment. Daystar Control Arm Bushings are a significant upgrade over the rubber bushings most suspension systems use because they are resistant to vehicle fluids and road grime. They offer less deflection under load and superior wear characteristics. These bushings make the perfect upgrade when replacing worn factory bushings and for high-load applications, such as heavy hauling or vehicles that frequently go off-road.

Features:

•Control Arm Bushing
•Restores Proper Vehicle Suspension Geometry
•Increases Performance And Handling Characteristics
•Vehicle Fluid And Road Grime Resistant
•Superior Durability and Wear Characteristics Over Stock Bushings
•Reduces "Slack" and "Play" in the Factory Suspension
