Hyper-Flex® Polyurethane Construction
Energy Suspension’s proprietary Hyper-Flex® polyurethane is engineered to outperform conventional rubber bushings.
Key advantages include:
- Superior wear resistance
- Reduced suspension deflection
- High load capacity
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Resistance to permanent compression
Unlike rubber, polyurethane maintains consistent suspension performance throughout years of driving.
Improve Suspension Performance
Replacing worn control arm bushings helps restore proper suspension geometry.
Benefits include:
- Sharper steering response
- Improved cornering stability
- Better braking control
- Reduced suspension flex
- More consistent wheel alignment
- Enhanced driver confidence
These improvements become increasingly noticeable as factory rubber bushings age.
Built to Resist Harsh Conditions
Factory rubber bushings gradually deteriorate when exposed to:
- Motor oil
- Grease
- Road salt
- Heat
- Ozone
- Moisture
- Road debris
Hyper-Flex polyurethane resists these contaminants, making it ideal for long-term street and performance use.
Ideal for Street & Performance Applications
The 5.3122G Control Arm Bushing Set is suitable for:
- Daily drivers
- Restorations
- Lowered vehicles
- Performance street cars
- Autocross
- Track-day builds
The firmer polyurethane construction helps maintain more consistent suspension geometry under hard acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Installation
Replacing control arm bushings generally involves:
- Safely raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the control arm assembly.
- Press out the factory rubber bushings.
- Clean the control arm bores thoroughly.
- Install the polyurethane bushings and sleeves.
- Reinstall the control arm and torque hardware to factory specifications.
- Perform a professional wheel alignment after installation.
A hydraulic press or specialized bushing tools are often required.
Benefits After Installation
Installing polyurethane control arm bushings can provide:
- More precise steering
- Reduced suspension movement
- Better handling
- Improved alignment retention
- Longer service life
- Increased suspension consistency
