8.3137 | Front Control Arm Bushings | 91-97 Toyota Landcruiser
Front Control Arm Bushing Set | 1991-1997 Toyota Landcruiser
The control arm is an essential part of a vehicles suspension that connects the wheel to the frame by rubber bushings. Worn rubber bushings cannot hold the bars securely enough and can cause issues like uneven tire wear among other things. The Energy Suspension 8.3137 Front Control Arm Bushing Set for the 1991-1997 Toyota Landcruiser Series 80 is a great part that holds the control bar more secure and keeps the wheels stable.
The Life of Rubber Control Arm Bushings
Vehicles like the Landcruiser go through a lot of bumps and dips when going off-road making the control bar constantly go up and down which causes the interior of the rubber bushing to wear out. As the rubber breaks down over time issues start to appear like wheel shimmy, the clanking of the bushing along the control arm, and uneven tire wear which can make a vehicle unstable. Additional ways that rubber bushings break down include dirt, road chemicals, or salty air from the coastal climate, all of which can be common to people that go off-road often.
Benefits of this Product
The original factory bushings are extremely susceptible to these issues, but if they are replaced with the 8.3137 Front Control Arm Bushing Set, they can make the vehicles journey easier for the driver. Polyurethane reinforces the connection between the control bar and the frame so well that it keeps the wheels aligned preventing uneven tire wear and steering wander.
Which to Choose?
We expect these polyurethane parts to last the entire life of the vehicle. So, we offer a lifetime warranty on all of the polyurethane parts we sell. Rubber does offer a smoother ride while driving, but over time the rubber bushings will exponentially wear until they either need to be replaced or upgraded. While it's less flexible and provides less cushion than rubber, poly is extremely durable, has a much longer lifespan, and can resist the issues that would normally break down rubber bushings.
