Why polyurethane?
While numerous materials exist for suspension bushings, polyurethane, the company argues, remains the premier choice. Often much easier to fit than rubber bushings, its durability, resistance to wear, and ability to withstand harsh conditions make it a go-to material. Unlike rubber, polyurethane maintains its integrity over time, providing consistent performance and reducing the frequency of replacements.
