Summary: The Energy Suspension Front Control Arm Bushing set is engineered to replace worn or soft OEM rubber components that lead to poor handling and alignment drift. Utilizing Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane material, these bushings provide the necessary stiffness to maintain alignment tracking during cornering, stopping, and hard launching. This Red performance-focused set is designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber components while significantly improving steering response and vehicle control. By upgrading to these polyurethane bushings, drivers ensure better caster and camber stability for their Chevrolet Express 1500 under demanding driving conditions.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Unlike standard rubber that deflects under load, Energy Suspension uses Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane which is full floating and non-binding. This engineering choice allows for improved alignment restoration and prevents the suspension from “walking” during aggressive maneuvers.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will experience improved vehicle handling, cornering, and overall control. The reduction in bushing compliance ensures that steering inputs are more direct and that the vehicle maintains its alignment settings even under extreme conditions on the street or off-road.
• Value Proposition: This kit offers a significant lifespan advantage by lasting 5 to 10 times longer than OEM rubber, backed by an industry-leading 7 Year or 750,000 Mile Warranty.
