Prothane 6-202 Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit 1-7/16 Inch Outer Shell

The Prothane 6-202 is a front lower control arm bushing kit engineered specifically for classic Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars with a 1-7/16 inch (1.4375") outer shell diameter. Molded from Prothane's proprietary polyurethane compound, these bushings are a direct, performance-oriented upgrade over the factory rubber units that degrade over time from heat, UV exposure, road grime, and vehicle fluids.

Why Upgrade to Polyurethane?

OEM rubber bushings are intentionally soft to reduce noise and vibration, but this compliance comes at the cost of precision. As rubber ages and deteriorates, control arm movement becomes unpredictable, making it nearly impossible to maintain accurate caster and camber alignment settings. Prothane's polyurethane compound is significantly firmer than rubber, reducing bushing deflection and restoring tight, repeatable suspension geometry for improved steering response and handling confidence.

Key Features:

• Polyurethane construction — firmer than OEM rubber for superior compliance resistance and longer service life
• 1-7/16" (1.4375") outer shell diameter — correct fitment specification for applicable vehicles
• Available in red or black — both colors share the same durometer hardness and performance characteristics; black contains a small amount of graphite to assist with noise reduction
• Includes Prothane Super Grease — proper lubrication at installation is critical to prevent squeaking; use PTFE-compatible grease only
• Lifetime warranty — Prothane guarantees these bushings against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser's vehicle

Restoring your front suspension with the Prothane 6-202 bushing kit helps preserve accurate alignment settings and delivers sharper, more responsive handling compared to worn or stock rubber bushings.
