HyperFlex Control Arm Bushings

A control arm bushing plays a vital role in a suspension. Replace that faulty O.E. rubber bushing with an Energy Suspension Hyperflex control arm bushing. These polyurethane bushings provide the longevity and performance needed to maximize a suspension's efficiency. Energy Suspension's Hyperflex polyurethane is a firmer bushing than the O.E. Not only does this increase the longevity of the bushing but gives the suspension a boost in handling performance. With a firmer bushing, there will be a slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), but most drivers prefer the boost in performance in spite of that.

The Faulty O.E.

As your suspension travels, a rubber control arm bushing is repeatedly stretching and flexing. After a while, the center sleeve begins to sag and your suspension alignment is throw out of whack. The sagging will go on until the rubber fails completely.

Be sure to use Formula 5

A control arm bushing rotates a lot against the metal shell, so make sure you grease it well with Energy Suspension's own Formula 5 Bushing Lubricant. Using plenty of grease is the best way to ensure a long lasting part without any squeaking. If you'd like some extra grease just in case, pick up an extra 3 pack or an 8 ounce tube.

The outer control arm to-control bar bushings are still working fine. I keep them slathered in silicone paste. Mostly to prevent corrosion of the attached metal parts. Low winter temperatures are tough on Polyurethane bushings. In February, at minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit, I wonder about the durometer of the bushing. For this reason, I do not use the inner control arm bushings. Low winter temperatures and corrosive road salt favor using the factory rubber inner bushings. The front suspension of the Saturn S-Series is itself a compromise.

starstarstarstarstar" Review 1 Year Later, theyre polyurethane, need I say more! "

I love them! I will ALWAYS purchase polyurethane bushings, when that option is available! Advice for future purchasers, If you think you have them lube enough, slather more on there! These bushings absolutely HAVE to have lube, for ease of installation, longevity, and to prevent suspension system squeaks! (Or whatever system you purchased your poly bushings for!)

The bushings were installed with new control arms/ball joints to solve a clunk issue in the car. All is well with the install. Expected increase in road noise from stiffer bushings did NOT really happen as the ride noise is nowhere near objectionable or distracting. Handling is much improved making the car more enjoyable to drive.\n\nThanks
