Bushings are used as way absorb shock, prevent metal to metal contact and still allow for flexibility. Most OEM manufacturers utilized rubber in the axle pivot bushings to meet these demands. However rubber degrades over time and by exposure to chemicals. Fortunately many of the top brand names now offer urethane Ford Explorer axle pivot bushings. Urethane still allows for some flexibility but will do a better job of keeping your suspension where it should be, and because of superior chemical composition it will also last you a lifetime. A set of urethane axle pivot bushings is a great upgrade for your ride.

Q: Why buy new bushings? What is the benefit?
A: Many advantages can be found over your stock bushings (especially if they're old!): Urethane bushings have a higher load-bearing capacity, greater tear strength, better compression set, greater abrasion resistance, and better tolerance to greases and oils. Polyurethane is an ideal material for performance suspension bushings, motor and transmission mounts. Additional horsepower, plus size tires, lifted truck suspension or lowered canyon carving street setups all mix with normal atmospheric conditions and undercar grit and grime to stress rubber bushings beyond design limits. Polyurethane bushings are firm enough to control movement and maintain alignment in sway bars, control arms, and other stressed suspension components without the harshness or resonance associated with solid metal suspension bushings.
