Prothane 8-1204 Front Strut Rod Bushing Kit T-Shape Polyurethane

The Prothane 8-1204 is a front strut radius rod bushing kit designed to replace worn factory rubber bushings on the Honda Prelude (SH models, 1997–2001). Strut arms tie the control arm to the chassis, limiting fore-and-aft wheel movement during acceleration and braking — making the condition of these bushings critical to proper steering and alignment.

Factory rubber strut rod bushings are prone to cracking, rotting, and compressing under load over time. Prothane engineers these replacement bushings from high-durability polyurethane, a material that holds its shape far longer than rubber under the repeated stress of daily driving and performance use. The result is more consistent caster angle, reduced wheel hop, and improved steering precision.

Key Features:

• Polyurethane construction outlasts and outperforms OEM rubber bushings
• Resists physical wear, oil, road grime, and common automotive chemicals
• Helps eliminate wheel hop in front-wheel-drive applications
• Maintains consistent caster angle for improved steering stability
• Available in red or black — identical durometer/hardness between colors
• Black variant contains a small amount of graphite to help reduce squeaking
• Includes pre-lube; proper greasing at installation is recommended
• Made in the USA
• Backed by Prothane's Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Installation requires pressing out the old bushings, making this a job suited for those with access to a press or a qualified installer. Use the included grease during installation to ensure quiet, long-lasting performance.
