Part Number: 15.3118R

Summary: The Energy Suspension Rear Control Arm Bushing kit is designed to replace worn or soft factory rubber components that compromise your vehicle’s stability. By utilizing Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane material, these bushings eliminate the deflection common in OEM parts, providing a solution for better alignment tracking while cornering, stopping, and hard launching. This Red performance-minded upgrade is engineered to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber components while significantly improving overall vehicle control and handling.

Features

• Full Floating and Non-Binding Design: This specialized construction provides better caster and camber stability during hard driving to ensure the suspension remains fluid and responsive.
• Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane Material: This high-performance material adds both performance and durability and lasts 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber components.
• Alignment Retention: The stiff polyurethane construction maintains proper alignment under extreme conditions on the street, track, or off-road to ensure precise steering response.
• Zinc Plated Components: Many sets include zinc plated outer metal shells to provide superior corrosion resistance and extended component life.
• Limited 7 Year or 750,000 Mile Warranty: Provides long-term peace of mind and quality assurance for your suspension upgrade.
