Prothane 18-1201 Front Strut Rod Bushing Kit 2WD Polyurethane

The Prothane 18-1201 is a front strut rod bushing kit designed as a high-performance polyurethane upgrade for 2WD Toyota Pickup trucks. Strut rods play a critical role in the front suspension by tying the control arm to the chassis, limiting forward and rearward tire movement during acceleration and braking to maintain proper wheel alignment.

Over time, the factory rubber bushings that connect the strut arms to the chassis are prone to cracking, rotting, and deteriorating — especially on vehicles with high mileage. Worn strut rod bushings can cause vague steering feel, handling instability, and increased tire wear. The Prothane 18-1201 replaces these worn rubber components with precision-molded polyurethane bushings that deliver significantly improved durability and performance.

Key Features:

• Polyurethane construction — resists physical wear, road grime, oils, and environmental contaminants that degrade OEM rubber
• Improved handling response — firmer bushing material reduces flex in the strut rod, providing more precise steering and better suspension control
• Direct-fit replacement — engineered to match OEM dimensions for straightforward installation without modification
• Available in red or black — both colors share the same durometer (hardness) and performance characteristics
• Includes Prothane Super Grease — proper lubrication at install prevents squeaking and ensures long service life
• Lifetime warranty — Prothane guarantees these bushings against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the vehicle with the original purchaser

Whether you're restoring aging suspension components or upgrading for better on-road performance, the Prothane 18-1201 strut rod bushing kit is a proven, long-lasting solution. Also included as part of the Prothane 18-2001 complete Toyota Pickup suspension bushing kit (18-1201 component).
