Rack and pinion bushings are necessary steering system components designed to secure linkages in place – keeping them properly positioned and aligned with a minimum of slop to ensure linear steering performance and prevent wandering on the highway. These bushings from Energy Suspension dampen vibration, noise, and prevent binding when steering parts pivot and slide under normal use. They also serve to reduce torque steer on front-wheel-drive vehicles under acceleration and wheel hop over bumps that creates a more unpleasant ride.
Polyurethane construction provides superior resilience to prevent harsh vibrations from being transferred into the passenger area, and the bushings will not collapse, deform, or crumble the way rubber ones can – even when used over rough roads. Polyurethane offers the ability to stand up and perform well under extreme temperatures, resist degrading after being exposed to road grime, salt, and oily contaminants, and resist crumbling when the hard blows are delivered. Energy Suspension proudly manufactures all components in the United States, and backs them with a 2-year warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.
Founded in the early 1980s in San Clemente, California, Energy Suspension® has specialized in the development and improvement of polyurethane, and has always been a believer in finding ways to use it to create products that improve automotive performance. Since the company's earliest days, their mission has been to be number one in quality and product lineup when it comes to polyurethane bushings, mounts, and other vibration-dampening grommets. Today, their worldwide presence and industry-wide respect show their efforts have paid off. Energy Suspension has achieved many firsts in the world of polyurethane suspension products, and on our website we offer many of its products at budget-friendly prices.
