Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing Red for 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7

Part Number: 11.7101R

Summary: The Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing is engineered to replace original, short-lived OEM rubber components that are often too soft for performance demands. By utilizing Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane material in a vibrant Red performance finish, this upgrade ensures your suspension maintains proper alignment even under extreme conditions. These components are designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber, providing a significant boost to your vehicle’s stability and steering response. This kit is essential for drivers looking to eliminate the handling inconsistencies caused by aging factory bushings.

Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a strut rod bushing do?
It secures the strut rod to the chassis, controlling the fore and aft movement of the lower control arm to maintain proper suspension geometry and alignment.

How does the Red polyurethane differ from the original rubber?
The Red Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane is firmer and more durable, designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than rubber while providing a performance/racing aesthetic.

Will these bushings help with braking stability?
Yes, they are specifically designed to reduce wheel “roll under,” which occurs when stopping abruptly, providing more consistent braking feel.
