- Energy Suspension warrants its products against defects in workmanship and material for 7 years or 750,000 miles when used on passenger cars and light trucks. Products that have been abused, altered, or incorrectly installed are not covered.

Labor claims, time loss, or freight charges will not be honored.
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 7.3116
starstarstarstarstar" Excellent quality and great instructions "
I installed these on a 1990 Nissan 300ZX TT and they made a dramatic improvement to the handling and overall ride comfort. Installation was tricky on some of them, as they are hard to press into the suspension components, but use plenty of lube and it will eventually work out. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the product.

Definite improvement in handling and best investment to make if you want your car to handle better than new. These little guys definitely eliminate the slop and weird clunks you feel during acceleration and deceleration. My only quirk is a lot of folks who will buy these pieces are hobbyists on a budget (like me). What I could suggest is somewhere down the road make a two piece design for ease of installation. The lips on the outside of the bushings make it REALLY difficult to press in. I ended up just cutting them in half and slipping them in. As long as the cuts are truly half, there shouldn't be any problems with the bushings wobbling around. 2000 miles and a few track days later - still no issues to date. Otherwise EXCELLENT PARTS!
