THE HIGHEST QUALITY POLYURETHANE AVAILABLE

Previously only used by the military and racers, polyurethane bushes did not become widely available until the 1990's. As they don’t rot or deteriorate, they often outlast the vehicle they’re put on. For anyone looking to upgrade their suspension, poly bushes are a great choice. Here’s how poly stacks up against rubber:

• Ride Quality: Due to their hardness, when matched to rubber, polyurethane bushes often lead to a similar ride.
• Hardness: Polyurethane bushes are slightly harder than rubber ones. Though that doesn’t mean they’re the hardest ones available. For drifting and competion hard grades are the better option
• Lifespan: Because they’re tougher, poly bushes cope a lot better with the demands of the suspension system. They’re also resistant to UV, oils, road chemicals, rust, and heat. Often outlasting the vehicle they’re installed on, polyurethane bushes are usually covered by comprehensive warranties.
• Squeaking: Contrary to popular belief, polyurethane suspension bushes don’t HAVE to squeak.  They’re just more likely to do so. This all comes down to how they’re made. .
• Installation: A hydraulic press is usually not required to install a polyurethane suspension bush. Once you’ve learned how to remove the old rubber bushes, installation is an easy two-step process.
• Maintenance: Unlike rubber suspension bushes, poly ones need to be greased every three to five years.
• Feel of the Road: Polyurethane bushes help the vehicle feel like an extension of the driver. The bumps and potholes might become slightly more pronounced. Though this is a turnoff for some, others feel that it makes them better drivers.
• Performance: Since they don’t flex as much, poly suspension bushes can make the entire suspension system more efficient. This makes turning and cornering easier.
• Price: Poly bushes are the cheaper of the two, if you choose wisely.  Some are overpriced
