Hyper-Flex® Polyurethane Construction

Energy Suspension’s Hyper-Flex® polyurethane is engineered to deliver significantly longer service life than conventional rubber.

Benefits include:

• High resistance to compression
• Excellent wear resistance
• Maintains shape under load
• Improved durability
• Consistent performance over time

Unlike rubber bushings that soften with age, polyurethane retains its firmness and structural integrity.

Universal Design

The flange-style design makes the 9.9483R suitable for numerous fabrication and replacement projects.

Potential applications include:

• Suspension links
• Custom sway bar links
• Chassis mounting points
• Fabricated control arms
• Universal linkage assemblies
• Restoration projects
• Race car fabrication

Always confirm dimensions before installation.

Resistant to Harsh Conditions

Hyper-Flex polyurethane is engineered to withstand exposure to:

• Engine oil
• Grease
• Road salt
• Moisture
• Dirt
• Ozone
• UV exposure
• Heat

This makes it ideal for vehicles subjected to daily driving, racing, towing, or off-road conditions.

Performance Benefits

Replacing worn rubber bushings with polyurethane helps provide:

• Reduced flex
• More consistent suspension movement
• Improved steering feel
• Better suspension precision
• Longer service life
• Reduced maintenance intervals

The firmer material allows suspension components to move as designed without excessive deflection.

Installation

Installation varies depending on the intended application.

Typical process:

1. Remove the worn bushing.
2. Inspect and clean the mounting location.
3. Lubricate polyurethane surfaces if recommended.
4. Install the flange bushing.
5. Reassemble and torque hardware to specification.

Because this is a universal component, installation procedures differ based on the custom application.
