Ridetech Streetgrip Delrin® Control Arm Bushings and Cross Shaft Sets

Ridetech offers Streetgrip Delrin® control arm bushings and cross shaft sets as direct replacements for worn factory rubber bushings and control arms on popular GM muscle cars. OE rubber bushings allow too much deflection on the control arms; whereas poly bushings resist smooth rotation and impose stiction. With Delrin® bushings, you get predictable and controlled movement. This allows the shocks and springs to do their intended job of providing suspension compliance, ride quality, and performance handling. Sets include bushings, control arm shafts, and other varying components. Order the set to fit your application needs.
