Product Details

Prothane's 6-1216 Front Strut Rod Arm Bushing Kit is engineered for 1972–1979 Ford applications, replacing worn OEM rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane for improved suspension precision and longevity. Strut rods are a critical suspension component — they resist fore-and-aft movement of the lower control arm under hard braking and rapid acceleration, keeping your front wheels in proper alignment and maintaining consistent handling characteristics.

Factory rubber bushings deteriorate over time, leading to wandering steering, increased tire wear, and a loss of directional control. Prothane's red polyurethane compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and the effects of time far better than rubber, restoring like-new suspension geometry and adding a firmer, more responsive feel to your front end.

Key Features:

  • High-performance polyurethane construction — outlasts OEM rubber bushings
  • Resists oil, grease, ozone, and UV degradation
  • Maintains proper front-end alignment under acceleration and braking loads
  • Restores suspension precision and reduces front-end wander
  • Direct replacement for deteriorated factory strut rod bushings
  • Includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation
  • Made in the USA by Prothane

Prothane has been a trusted name in polyurethane suspension components since 1988, offering a full line of bushings designed to outperform factory rubber in both durability and feel. The 6-1216 kit is a straightforward upgrade for any classic Ford restoration or performance build seeking tighter, more predictable front suspension response.

GGreat so far

cheapest price on the web thanks for the great value, shipping was <br>a little slow but it was free and came with a tracking number<br><br>Thanks<br>

I did a google search for the part I was looking for. In this case a Borgeson steering box for my Dodge 2500. Autoplicity had the best price. I ordered it and it arrived shortly thereafter, no problems, no hassles. Great service, thanks<br><br>Brendan

My first order and I must say, very impressive! Awesome prices and super-fast shipping direct from the manufacturer. Couldn't ask for more! I will return.

I was looking for a set of Warn driving lights and Google search returned Autoplicity as one of the merchants carrying the product. I couldn't believe the price and Autoplicity provided 25% off shipping. Nobody on the web can beat their prices!

Always great prices, fast shipping and great communication. Will order again from Autoplicity. Order#17421.
