Prothane 8-316-BL Black Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Kit for Honda Prelude

The Prothane 8-316-BL is a black polyurethane rear trailing arm bushing kit designed as a high-performance upgrade over factory rubber bushings. Engineered for the Honda Prelude, this kit delivers tighter suspension geometry, improved chassis feedback, and significantly longer service life than OEM rubber components.

Why Upgrade Your Trailing Arm Bushings?

Trailing arm bushings are critical suspension components that bear the weight and stress of the rear axle, shocks, and chassis loads. Factory rubber bushings are prone to cracking, deterioration, and deformation over time — leading to vague handling, poor rear toe and caster stability, and unwanted suspension hop or shudder. Prothane's polyurethane construction eliminates these issues.

Key Features:

• Premium-grade polyurethane construction — significantly more durable and rot-resistant than OEM rubber
• Black color (BL) — contains a small amount of graphite blended into the polyurethane to help minimize noise during operation
• Precision fabrication for a direct-fit, factory-style installation
• Grease-retaining design — holds supplied lubricant for quiet, long-lasting performance
• Maintains proper rear toe and caster under spirited and high-performance driving conditions
• Includes pre-lube for proper installation and squeak prevention
• Lifetime warranty — Prothane guarantees against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser's vehicle

The black and red variants of this bushing share the same durometer (hardness), so performance is identical between colors. The black version's graphite content provides a slight additional advantage in reducing noise. Proper greasing at installation is the best practice for quiet, long-lasting operation.

Upgrade your rear suspension with confidence — Prothane's polyurethane trailing arm bushings will outlast and outperform the factory rubber they replace.
