A strut rod sounds like a make believe part that your mechanic dreamed up so that he could charge you extra money. But strut rods are very real, and an extremely important component of your suspension. The basic purpose of a strut rod is to limit the forward and reward movement of your lower control arm. Part of the strut rod is your Mazda RX7 strut rod bushings which are there to keep everything in check, absorb shock, and prevent metal to metal contact. When your Mazda RX7 strut rod bushings wear out it can result in significant alignment and handling problems. To prevent these issues we highly recommend you replace your old bushings with a brand new set of Mazda RX7 strut rod bushings from our extensive lineup.

Your Mazda RX7 strut rod bushings take a real beating as you drive over pot holes and bumps. The OEM units are made of rubber that can fatigue and fail over time. However there is a solution to this problem. Many of the leading aftermarket companies make urethane bushings that have increased strength and durability. These high-performance urethane bushings will not only give your vehicle more precise control, but they will also last you a lifetime. This is a simple and inexpensive upgrade, so the next time your strut rod bushings are up for replacement, we highly recommend going with a urethane set.

Q: How do you install strut rod bushings?
A: Strut Rod bushings are installed by removing your factory bushings and replacing it with the aftermarket polyurethane ones.

Q: What are strut rod bushings? Why buy them?
A: Strut rod bushings are attached to your strut housing, which dampens the blows created by road vibrations. When stock bushings get old, your vehicle tends to have a rougher ride with a mushier feel in the corners. Replace your factory rubber bushings with these polyurethane bushings to virtually eliminate bushing compression and flex. The result is that your suspensions geometry will remain correct no matter how hard you push your car.
