Strongflex Polyurethane Bushings – Durability and Performance

Strongflex polyurethane bushings offer exceptional durability and performance for vehicle suspensions, suitable for both street use and extreme racing conditions. Available in two hardness levels (80 ShA and 90 ShA), they provide enhanced stability, precise steering, and longer lifespan compared to traditional rubber bushings.

Polyurethane bushings are increasingly popular in the automotive tuning and motorsport world due to their outstanding durability and performance. Traditional rubber bushings deteriorate over time, leading to reduced vehicle stability and driving experience. In contrast, Strongflex polyurethane bushings offer longer lifespan, superior vibration damping, and more precise steering.

Why Choose Polyurethane Bushings?

Polyurethane bushings are significantly more resistant to mechanical stress and chemical effects than traditional rubber variants. This is particularly important for street tuning and race cars, where suspension components are subjected to substantial loads.
