Powerflex Lower Control Arm Thrust Bushing (996)

Product Details

Works in front or rear lower control arm, replaces center thrust bushing.

Stock rubber control arm bushings give a disconnected and mushy feel to the front suspension, especially when worn, as the bushing deflects more than it should. You get sloppy steering, vibrations, and poor handling which makes the car feel unstable. These urethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber and will not deflect as much. This helps keep the alignment in check with less variation. The car feels more planted and confidence-inspiring. And a lifetime warranty means you'll likely never have to pay for another bushing ever again!

Unlike other urethane bushings using only one or two urethane grades, Powerflex design engineers choose the correct hardness to allow for the specific movement or rigidity required for each component while minimizing unwanted NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness).

Bushings are typically produced in one of three grades:

• Yellow (70-80A, approximately 25% stiffer than stock),
• Purple (80-90A, approximately 30% stiffer than stock), and
• Black (90-95A, approximately 80% stiffer than stock). = Race
