Set of 4 Polyurethane Front Leaf Spring Eye Bushes – 1st Generation Ford Mustang

Complete set of 4 polyurethane bushes for the front eyes of the rear leaf springs on 1st Generation Ford Mustangs.

The leaf springs play an important role in both the suspension and location of the rear axle. The bushes fitted at the front spring eyes allow the springs to move correctly while controlling their relationship with the vehicle chassis.

With age, original rubber bushes can harden, crack and deform. Replacing them with polyurethane bushes provides a more durable mounting solution while allowing the leaf springs to retain the movement required for normal suspension operation.

Fitment

⚠️ Please check the dimensions of your existing spring eye before ordering, particularly the internal diameter.

Why polyurethane?

Polyurethane is particularly well suited to classic car suspension systems and leaf-spring applications. It provides excellent resistance to the repeated loads and movement experienced by the rear suspension.

Compared with old and deteriorated rubber bushes, polyurethane offers:

• Excellent wear resistance
• Improved resistance to deformation
• Good dimensional stability
• High resistance to repeated movement
• Long service life
• Improved control of spring positioning
• An excellent solution for classic car restoration

These bushes are therefore an ideal choice when refurbishing the rear suspension of a classic Ford Mustang, particularly when replacing original suspension components that have become worn or deteriorated over time.

Ideal for classic Mustang restoration

When restoring a 1st Generation Mustang, suspension bushes are an important part of the overall refurbishment. Even when the leaf springs themselves remain serviceable, aged bushes can deteriorate and allow unwanted movement between the spring and chassis.

This kit replaces all four front spring-eye bushes with modern polyurethane components, providing a durable and reliable mounting solution for the rear leaf springs.
