Prothane 18-208-BL Control Arm Bushing Kit Black - MR2 85-89

The Prothane 18-208-BL is a polyurethane control arm bushing kit engineered as a direct performance upgrade over worn factory rubber bushings. Deteriorated OEM rubber bushings allow the control arms to shift and flex under load, throwing suspension alignment out of specification and degrading handling precision. Prothane's high-durometer polyurethane construction resists that compliance, keeping the control arm geometry locked in place and preserving your caster and camber settings under real-world driving conditions.

Key Features:

• High-performance polyurethane construction — firmer than OEM rubber for improved suspension efficiency and handling response
• Black finish with graphite additive — the graphite-infused compound helps reduce the potential for squeaking during operation
• Lifetime warranty — Prothane guarantees these bushings against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser's vehicle
• Includes Prothane Super Grease — pre-lube is supplied to ensure proper lubrication at installation and prevent noise
• Made in the USA — manufactured domestically to Prothane's exacting quality standards
• Direct-fit replacement — designed as a precise drop-in replacement for the OEM control arm bushings

Upgrading to polyurethane control arm bushings is one of the most cost-effective suspension improvements available. By eliminating bushing flex, alignment settings stay accurate longer, steering feel sharpens, and overall chassis response improves. Note that as with all polyurethane bushings, a slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) compared to stock rubber is normal and expected. Proper lubrication with the included grease at installation is essential for optimal, squeak-free performance.
