Polyurethane vs Steel

[DG624]

I have read that polyurethane binds and will not last as long as rubber.  Does your product have different properties than regular polyurethane?  Do your bushings bind or break down?  I am replacing the front control arm bushings and was going to use steel at over $100 a side but if your bushings work without binding I would rather save the money and not have to think about rusting bushings.  What is different in your polyurethane formula...more lubricatrion, more hardness what is different?

DG,

Great question to ask.  Our polyurethane flange bushings are "full floating" meaning minimal resistance between the O.D. and I.D. of the bushing and moving components where as rubber is either chemically bonded or compressed to fit inside the I.D. of the control arm where the rubber is limited by around 10 degrees of articulation.  Any movement beyond that angle and the rubber begins it's deterioration process by cracking and tearing.  Our polyurethane is completely impervious to oils, gas, atmospheric conditions and road salts where rubber is a petroleum based produced and is negatively effected by these elements.

We manufacture all of our polyurethane in house where it can be observed by human eyes and mixed by hand at all times.

Our process and formula has been a proprietary secret for over 27 years and continues to serve us well into the years ahead.

I leave the choice up to you to decide and welcome any questions you may have.
