On the flip side, because polyurethane is a significantly firmer elastomer, it transmits a more direct, stiffer road feel and requires proper lubrication during installation (using the included super grease) to prevent squeaking. While OE rubber provides a softer, more isolated ride that absorbs minor road vibrations, polyurethane is the ultimate choice for enthusiasts seeking tighter handling, superior durability, and long-term performance from their classic build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear track arm (Panhard rod) polyurethane bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel inner sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for \u003cstrong\u003e1983–1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 rear-wheel-drive models\u003c\/strong\u003e equipped with a factory rear track arm (Panhard rod). \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1984–1987 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 (AE86 RWD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1985–1987 Toyota Corolla GT-S (AE86 RWD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1983–1987 Toyota Corolla Levin (AE86)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1983–1987 Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits \u003cstrong\u003erear-wheel-drive (RWD)\u003c\/strong\u003e AE86 models only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for factory rear track arm (Panhard rod) bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for OEM rear track arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify compatibility if aftermarket adjustable Panhard bars are installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot intended for vehicles converted to custom rear suspension systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the factory rubber bushings completely before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the track arm bore thoroughly before pressing in the new bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLubricate polyurethane components with the supplied polyurethane grease (if included) or an appropriate polyurethane-safe lubricant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the rear track arm and mounting hardware for wear or damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten all fasteners with the suspension at normal ride height according to the Toyota Factory Service Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional installation is recommended when using a hydraulic press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Color Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack Polyurethane\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA subtle, OEM-inspired appearance that blends seamlessly with factory suspension components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Polyurethane\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProthane's signature performance appearance for enthusiasts who prefer a more visible suspension upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth black and red bushings use the same premium polyurethane compound and provide identical durability, handling improvements, and fitment.
