Urethane Suspension Bushes

Suspension Bushes


Bushes Information

Pedders have spent many years developing a comprehensive range of bushes for all applications each designed to allow flexibility of movement of the entire suspension while maintaining correct mounting and alignment of individual parts. To perform its intended role, a bush must be able to compress, but to a precise degree, and then return to its original position. If a bush is too hard, too soft, or damaged in any way, the ride, handling and safety of a vehicle is compromised.

Bushes are made from a number of different materials including rubber and polyurethane. By upgrading the original bushes to superior Pedders products which are designed for specific use, a vehicle's general handling and its ability to perform in certain conditions can be dramatically improved.



Pedders Urethane Bushes

Pedders Urethane bushes have a high capacity to bear tension, compression and friction and retain their hardness, even under the most adverse conditions. Features of urethane bushes:

• Excellent for heavy load carrying
• Firm suspension control
• Resistant to corrosive material
• Solves wheel alignment problems, particularly for most front-wheel drive vehicles where they do not have provision for wheel alignment correction.
• In driving terms, this means better road holding, increased tyre life, more responsive steering and a longer service life of suspension components with minimal affect on NVH (noise, vibration, harshness).

Other features of Pedders Urethane Bushes are:

• Hardened crush tubes - longer life and eliminates slippage
• Double helix - maintains axial location while allowing full rotation of the pivot. It also acts as a grease reservoir that further increases product life
• Knurling - for extra protection against adverse wear in heavily laden bushings
• Bullet Grooves - provides the correct pre-load while at the same time accommodating a wide variance in sizes and maintaining free pivoting of the bushing
