Prothane Polyurethane Bushings, Mounts, Chassis and Suspension Parts

 

Prothane manufactures a wide range of high-performance urethane products as replacements and upgrades for bushings, brackets, and OEM (factory) rubber parts that will last the life of your vehicle. Urethane/Polyurethane is a term used to describe a family of elastomers (any compound exhibiting the characteristics of natural rubber; stretchy and elastic). Poly meaning “many” and “urethane” denotes the classification of the chemical structure. Polyurethane or Urethane for short is used as a solid cast material (bushings, mounts, mount inserts, etc.) that can be compounded as soft as a rubber band or as hard as a bowling ball. Each product is specially formed to exact specifications for resilience, performance, and durability for the specific application.

Each product is specifically tailored to exact specifications of resiliency, performance and durability for the specific application. That is why the PROTHANE™ products are greatly superior.

Shock Absorbers and Struts

 

What is a shock absorber?

Shock absorbers dampen the movement of the springs by converting the spring's kinetic energy into thermal energy, heating the shock’s oil to create compression and rebound resistance levels. 

 

What is a strut?

For all intensive purposes, shocks and struts serve the same purpose, yet mount in different ways and provide additional functionality. Struts take the place of the upper control arm and upper ball joint used in conventional suspensions with shock absorbers. Unlike shock absorbers, struts provide structural support for the springs, and maintain the wheel and tire in alignment.
