Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing Red for 1961-1969 Lincoln Continental

Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing Red for 1961-1969 Lincoln Continental

Part Number: 4.7118R

Summary: The Energy Suspension Front Strut Rod Bushing is engineered to replace original, short-lived OEM rubber components that are often too soft for demanding driving conditions. Utilizing Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane material, this Red performance upgrade provides a significant increase in durability and handling precision. These components are designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber, ensuring your Lincoln Continental maintains better stability and alignment. By upgrading to a proper durometer polyurethane, you ensure a more effective suspension system with improved resistance to environmental wear.

Features

• Hyper-Flex™ Performance Polyurethane: High-grade polyurethane construction provides increased durability and performance to ensure your suspension components last 5 to 10 times longer than conventional rubber components.
• Anti-Roll Under Design: Performance polyurethane material helps reduce common wheel “roll under” to ensure stability and safety when stopping abruptly.
• Enhanced Traction Control: Specialized material properties diminish wheel hop and traction loss to ensure better control during standing start accelerations.
• Alignment Retention: High-firmness durometer provides better maintenance of proper alignment to ensure predictable handling under extreme conditions.
• Limited 7 Year or 750,000 Mile Warranty: Comprehensive manufacturer coverage provides peace of mind and long-term quality assurance.

The specific durometer of these bushings improves the contact between the suspension components and the chassis, providing a more rigid and responsive interface than stock parts.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will experience improved steering response and reduced wheel hop. The Red bushings offer a performance/racing aesthetic while preventing the “roll under” effect common during hard braking or when using performance tires.
• Value Proposition: These bushings are a long-term investment, outlasting rubber components by 5 to 10 times. Backed by a 7 Year or 750,000 Mile Warranty, they offer the best balance of cost-effectiveness and mechanical reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a strut rod bushing do?
A strut rod bushing maintains the fore and aft position of the lower control arm. Upgrading to polyurethane prevents unwanted movement, maintaining proper alignment and improving steering response.

What is the benefit of the Red bushings over the standard rubber ones?
The Red Hyper-Flex™ Polyurethane bushings are firmer than rubber, providing a performance aesthetic and significantly better durability, lasting 5 to 10 times longer than OEM parts.

How does this product help with braking?
These components help reduce wheel “roll under,” which typically occurs during abrupt stops, especially on vehicles equipped with performance tires.
