Front Control Arm Bushing Kit | 2003-2009 4WD Dodge Ram 3500
The control arm is essential in a vehicle's suspension because it keeps the wheels aligned in place while also keeping the wheels secured to the road while driving. Control arm bushings protect against metal-on-metal contact when the control arms move up and down and reduce overall noise, vibrations, and the instability of the vehicle. However, large trucks like the Dodge Ram can go through conditions that wear out the factory-made rubber bushings, like dirt, debris, and general wear and tear. Luckily, the Energy Suspension 5.3145 Front Control Arm Bushing Kit can help resist these issues and last longer than factory-made parts.


The Hazards of Worn Down Rubber Bushings
The bushings that are supplied by the factory are made of rubber, a good material for absorbing vibrations but not made to last. Many things break down rubber, like engine chemicals, road salts, debris, dirt, and general wear and tear. The Dodge Ram and other similar vehicles go off road and haul heavy loads which cause hazards like dirt, debris, and wear and tear to break down rubber bushings. Also, if a lift kit is installed in the vehicle, it will cause the bushing to wear out due to the change in suspension geometry. When the rubber bushings wear out, the vehicle's front wheels could start to move out of alignment, it could cause steering wander, and can cause the tires to start wearing out unevenly and prematurely. Polyurethane is one of the best materials that can be used to replace these bushings and provide a more secure and controlled feel to the control arm.
Unique Benefits of Energy Suspension Bushings
These bushings provide a better, more comfortable, feel to the drive because they are not as flexible as rubber and so they stay in place better. The kit's bushings are made from polyurethane, a material that is stronger than rubber. While it cannot absorb vibrations as well as rubber, polyurethane control arm bushings allow for a more controlled and precise form of driving, making it an optimal choice for vehicles like the Dodge Ram.
The Energy Suspension 5.3145 Front Control Arm Bushing Kit fits control arms with a pressed-in outer shell and a lip. If you are looking for a bushing kit for a control arm with a welded-in outer shell, try the 5.3142
