$59.87

Nolathane REV161.0074 Rear Leaf Spring and Shackle Bushings

If you own a Ford F-150 from 1982 to 1995, a Ford Bronco from 1984 to 1990, or a Ford Ranger from 1983 to 1985, you know that maintaining your ride's suspension is crucial for performance and safety. The Nolathane REV161.0074 bushings are designed specifically for leaf sprung vehicles, addressing the wear and tear that comes from heavy loads and high mileage. These bushings are built tough, featuring Nolathane's signature red color that not only looks great but also indicates their high durability.

Why Upgrade to Nolathane Bushings?

Rubber bushings can degrade over time, especially under the stress of off-road adventures or heavy towing. The Nolathane bushings are engineered to withstand these challenges, offering:

  • Outstanding abrasion resistance
  • High load-bearing capability, perfect for 4WDs and utes
  • Flexibility and increased tensile strength
  • Resistance to oil, grease, ozone, and weathering

Installing these bushings can significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your vehicle. Many owners report a noticeable difference in their truck's responsiveness after upgrading.

Fitment

The Nolathane REV161.0074 bushings are compatible with the following vehicles:

  • Ford F-150 (1982-1995)
  • Ford Bronco (1984-1990)
  • Ford Ranger (1983-1985)

These bushings are designed for the rear position, ensuring that your leaf spring setup functions optimally.

Customer Feedback

Ford F-150 owners have shared their experiences after installing the REV161.0074 bushings. One user noted, "After putting these bushings in my 1990 F-150, the rear end feels much more stable, especially when towing my boat. It’s a solid upgrade that I wish I had done sooner!"

ABOUT NOLATHANE
With over 40 years of experience, Nolathane remains the number one replacement and enhancement bushing and chassis component brand in Australia and New Zealand and now has a warehouse in California to meet the North American market. Nolathane suspension bushings synchronise your suspension system for optimal safety, handling and performance. They are the links between your vehicle's springs, struts, or shocks.

As the chosen brand by automobile technicians and DIY'ers (Do it Yourself), Nolathane has achieved this via innovations in both material formulations and high quality raw materials, with careful engineering and extensive testing. As a result, these items are a no compromise' option backed up by a warranty.
WHY CHOOSE NOLATHANE?

Whether you intend to rebuild your street machine, toughen your truck, or simply update your everyday suspension bushing Nolathane is the link between your vehicle and its springs, struts, and shock absorbers. Suspension bushings supply the movement and/or mounting points in your vehicle's suspension system. Original rubber suspension bushings are squeezed or chemically bound to the suspension components to which they are fitted. In the case of a metallastic (steel cased) bush, the rubber is compressed at the time of manufacture and chemically bonded to the metal core sleeve and outer steel shell. The rubber bush is generally press-fitted into the suspension component, such as a control arm, then bolted to the chassis. In this approach, the ability of suspension movement or rotation to move is constrained. The Nolathane rubber suspension bush design involves a delicate compromise, as it is enough to permit sufficient rotational movement while retaining alignment settings.
WHAT MAKES NOLATHANE BUSHING SPECIAL?

Unlike rubber, Nolathane polyurethane suspension bushings are not bonded by compression. Nolathane bushings are mechanically fitted with a little crush of the urethane substance, and the central pin is lubricated so the component freely pivots without constraint. When combined with Nolathane's ability to retain the shape of the bush, this free pivoting results in a more responsive handling reaction and significantly better suspension control. Technical advancements in suspension design have resulted in many modern automobiles having much enhanced on-road handling. Using Nolathane suspension bushings eliminates suspension weakness and hence retains steering control.
NOLATHANE FEATURES

Nolathane bushings increase your suspension's performance in the following ways:
  • Superior abrasion resistance
  • Superior weight carrying capacity (4WD, utes, and towing)
  • Flexibility
  • Strengthening of the tensile component
  • Chemical resistance against oil, grease, ozone, and deterioration caused by weathering
  • Adjustable bushings for alignment correction
  • As a result, it improved grip, steering, and performance
  • Suspension geometry changes less under load, braking, and during turns
  • Increased suspension life and decreased repair time
  • Increased tire life

Nolathane was originally developed to replace brass bushings in hill climb vehicles. As a result, the early formulations were extremely hard, as they were intended to replace brass, not rubber. While it performed admirably in competition, it was far too harsh for everyday street use. Nolathane is available in a variety of durometers (grades of softness/hardness), with the appropriate durometer being chosen for each application. Today's Nolathane products offer more tear, abrasion, and compression resistance for any type of ride.
