• Value Proposition: With a service life 5 to 10 times longer than rubber and a 750,000-mile warranty, this is a “one-and-done” upgrade that reduces maintenance costs and preserves the vehicle’s suspension geometry for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these help with sagging leaf springs?
Yes, by replacing compressed or rotted rubber bushings, these components help restore proper spring alignment and function, which can help maintain the intended ride height.

What is the difference between this and OEM rubber?
These are made from Hyper-Flex™ polyurethane, which is much more durable than rubber. They do not rot or break down from oil or road salt and are designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber.

How long does the installation take?
The estimated installation time for this leaf spring bushing set is approximately 3 hours, depending on the tools available and the condition of the existing hardware.
