Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Energy Suspension uses a full floating and non-binding design that allows the suspension to move more freely compared to OEM rubber. The Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane construction prevents the deflection and “squish” associated with rubber, maintaining critical alignment angles during aggressive maneuvers.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will experience improved vehicle handling, cornering, and overall control. By stabilizing the control arms, the vehicle gains better caster and camber stability, resulting in more predictable steering and reduced tire wear.
• Value Proposition: With a lifespan 5-10 times longer than rubber and a 750,000-mile warranty, these bushings are a “fit-and-forget” upgrade that eliminates the need for frequent bushing replacements.
