Energy Suspension's HYPER-FLEX performance polyurethane bushings will provide your vehicle with improved performance, greater durability and a custom appearance. They are designed primarily to get rid of the "sloppyness" in your stock rubber bushings.
HYPER-FLEX performance polyurethane bushings are guaranteed to last longer and operate more efficiently than original rubber stops. The polyurethane bushings will improve vehicle handling, cornering and overall control. You'll notice a dramatic improvement in steering response (the car will feel crisper).
All of Energy's control arm bushings are full-floating and non-binding, which is especially important when ride height is altered or greater suspension load is required.
Energy's HYPER-FLEX performance polyurethane bushings do not rot or deteriorate from oils or atmospheric conditions such as ozone, smog, road salt, chemicals, and other corrosives. They will not deteriorate in a few short years and cause that mushy, uncertain steering response like rubber OEM ones often do.
Key Features:
- Reduces wheel hop and traction loss.
- Proven for many years, by both professional and amateur racers alike.
- Made of Energy's HYPER-FLEX performance polyurethane.
- Heavy duty metal components are used for increased strength when applicable.
The Master Bushing Sets are the most popular and offer complete coverage from front to back for your Subaru Forester (the notes for each part give details on exactly what you get).
Notes on Selecting the Correct Set: If you see measurements next to a sway bar bushing set, this means the set only works for a sway bar of that width. OEMs sometimes change the sway bar sizes on some models from year to year, so measure the bar before your order to make sure the bushings will work.
Notes on Coloring: The black bushings aren't just for color, they actually have graphite injected in them, which gives them self-lubricating properties. Black is not available for all bushings. If you choose black, we will give you as many black bushings as possible for the chosen set.
Notes on Lubrication: Certain bushing sets require and include Energy Suspension's Formula 5 Pre-lube. In some states (where there is a lot of rain or salted roads) re-lubing may be necessary every year. In temperate states, like California, you can probably go 2-3 years without lubing. If you hear squeaks or noises, then you need to re-lube.
