Prothane Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushing Kit

For 1986–1995 Toyota 4Runner 4WD


Overview

The Prothane Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushing Kit replaces worn factory rubber control arm bushings on 1986–1995 Toyota 4Runner 4WD models. The firmer polyurethane construction reduces unwanted control-arm deflection while helping maintain more consistent front suspension geometry, steering response, and alignment.

Toyota used different front control arm bushing configurations beginning with the 1989 model year, so this listing is offered in separate 1986–1988 and 1989–1995 configurations. Each kit services both the driver and passenger sides and includes the required upper and lower control arm polyurethane bushings for its specified application.

Black and red versions are available with the same functional performance. Polyurethane is firmer than factory rubber, so a small increase in transmitted noise, vibration, and harshness may be noticeable.


Key Features

  • Replaces factory front control arm rubber bushings
  • Polyurethane construction for increased durability
  • Covers upper and lower front control arms
  • Services both driver and passenger sides
  • Helps reduce unwanted control arm deflection
  • Supports more consistent suspension geometry and alignment
  • Supplied with polyurethane installation grease
  • Available in black or red
  • Separate configurations for 1986–1988 and 1989–1995
  • Suitable for stock and properly modified suspension applications

Polyurethane Control Arm Design

Factory rubber control arm bushings repeatedly flex as the suspension cycles. With age, the rubber can crack, soften, or sag around the mounting points, allowing increased control-arm movement and less consistent alignment.

Polyurethane provides a firmer pivot point that limits excessive deflection while still allowing the control arms to articulate through normal suspension travel. Proper lubrication is important during installation; apply the supplied polyurethane grease to the specified bushing contact surfaces to minimize friction and prevent squeaking.
