Rubber Suspension Bushings

Restore factory original ride and performance

Replace your tired suspension bushings with our OEM spec rubber replacements to restore ride quality and performance.  

Complete Solution - We have kits for ALL the bushings in your suspension; front control arms, strut top camber plates, spring plates, sway bars, and trailing arms.

DIY Kits - All bushings are available in kit form suitable for DIY installation or we can perform a full rebuild service on your control arm / spring plates / trailing arms.

You may also consider our PolyBronze Bearings and WeatherSealed Monoballs, a high performance alternative to OEM-type rubber bushings.


Front Control Arm Bushings

DIY Kit - Front control arm rubber bushings are now available as a kit for self-installation.   In addition to a complete set of 4 OEM spec rubber bushings, the kit includes our proprietary installation tools and instructions which are essential for successful installation.   Use a pipe clamp or shop press to complete the install.

Quality Design - Don't confuse Elephant Racing OEM spec control arm bushings with inferior products offered without installation tools.  Those products have a loose fit to allow tool-less installation.  The loose fit causes excessive bushing deformation, torsion bar rubbing, premature wear, bushing slippage, and changing corner balance.  Be sure you are getting genuine Elephant Racing OEM spec bushings.

Watch a head-to-head Brand X comparison test.     

Restore Ride and Performance - Rubber is the choice if you want to restore factory ride and performance in a zero-maintenance solution.  Check our PolyBronze Bearings for a high-performance solution.

65-67 911 and 912 - Specially designed for early cars.  This kit includes the metal-encased press-fit bushings unique to the rear of the early control arms.   A complete set of 4 bushings that provides the same type high quality rubber replacement bushings as our proven kits for the later cars.

Strut Top Camber Plate Bushings

Easily installed - with the camber plates still in the car using ordinary hand tools.  Instructions.

Restore Ride and Performance - Rubber is the choice if you want to restore factory ride and performance.  Check our WeatherSealed Monoballs for a high-performance solution or our QuickChange Camber Plates.

Spring Plate Bushings

OEM Spec - A true OEM spec bushing replacement for spring plates.   Spring plate bushing condition can be accessed by looking at the hole is the spring plate cover.  It should be concentric around the spring plate.   When the bushings deform, the cover becomes non-concentric around the spring plate and in extreme cases actually contacts the cover plate - metal-to-metal.   

More than just bushings, this is a full kit that includes inner and outer bushings (4 pcs), adhesive, instructions, long bolts to press in the bushings, and abrasive cloth to prep the surface. 

Restore Ride and Performance - Rubber is the choice if you want to restore factory ride and performance in a zero-maintenance solution.  Check our PolyBronze Bearings for a high-performance solution.

Note - 1967 spring plate bushings changed mid-year.   The following '67 chassis numbers transitioned to the late style '69 - '89 style bushes.

   - ’67 911 from Chassis Serial Number 307 325

   - ’67 912 from Chassis Serial Number 354 938

   - ’67 911 S from Chassis Serial Number 305 101 A

All earlier '67 chassis numbers use the early '65-'66 style bushes.

Bushing Removal Tool - NEW We've developed this tool to simplify the removal of spring plate bushings.  The bushings are bonded to the spring plate, and removal is not easy.  This convenient cutting tool shaves the bushings off, removing nearly all the rubber and require just a bit of cleanup to finish.   This tool greatly simplifies the bushing removal process.   Video demonstration.

Spring plate shown is not included.
