Why Choose Urethane?
Urethane bushings resist wear, cracking, and deformation far better than rubber. Once installed, you'll enjoy tighter handling and longer service life—ideal for restoration, off-road, or performance builds.

Note: These bushings are intended for use between the spring plate and torsion housing (inner), and between the spring plate and bolt-on cover (outer). Not compatible with adjustable spring plates.
