Energy Suspension provides grease to install these parts, but you can never have too much. Grab an extra 3-pack of grease so you can more liberally apply grease when installing.

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.

Energy Suspension 4.3114
starstarstarstarstar" Review 1 Year Later "
Wrong bushings. Editors note: The kit 4.3114 bushings have all round bushings. There is another option has one oval bushing for the lower trailing arm. That kit is 4.3115. These kits are designed for OEM arms, not aftermarket tubular arms.

Have 1 small issue. The rear lower front bushings are a tad small for the steel sleeves which makes them a bit loose when installed. They tightened up the rear suspension a whole bunch but would like to see the rear lower fronts a bit snugger to make it tighter.

- Question:
- I need to replace the rear axle control arm bushings. Do i have to reuse the existing metal housing or do you provide the outer metal housing with the bushing kit.
- Answer:
- Energy kit 4.3114 does not include the outer shells. You would have to burn out the rubber bushing in the OEM control arm. Leave the outer shell in the arm and insert the polyurethane bushing into the shell.
