Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing Black for 1963-1968 Buick Riviera

Part Number: 3.7114G

Summary: The Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing is engineered to replace original, short-lived OEM rubber components that are often too soft for high-performance demands. Constructed from proprietary Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane, these bushings are designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber while significantly improving steering response and stability. Available in a sleek Black finish, this upgrade ensures your vehicle’s suspension geometry remains consistent under load, providing a more controlled and predictable driving experience.

Features

• Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane Material: High-grade polyurethane provides increased firmness and durability to ensure the component lasts 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber components.
• Wheel Roll Under Reduction: Optimized durometer helps reduce common wheel “roll under” that occurs during abrupt stopping, especially when utilizing performance tires.
• Enhanced Traction Control: Improved material density diminishes wheel hop and traction loss during standing start accelerations to ensure better power delivery.
• Alignment Stability: Precision-engineered design better maintains proper alignment under extreme conditions to ensure consistent handling and tire wear.
• Limited 7 Year or 750,000 Mile Warranty: Comprehensive coverage provides long-term peace of mind and quality assurance for your suspension system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a strut rod bushing do?
The strut rod bushing controls the fore and aft movement of the lower control arm. Upgrading to Hyper-Flex™ polyurethane ensures better alignment stability and reduced wheel movement during braking and acceleration.

How does this compare to my original rubber bushings?
These polyurethane components are firmer and more durable than OEM rubber, lasting 5 to 10 times longer and resisting compression better under extreme conditions.

Will this help with wheel hop?
Yes, the increased firmness of the polyurethane diminishes wheel hop and traction loss during standing start accelerations.
