* Some types of bushings only compress, such as body mounts and endlinks, and do not come with grease because they do not need grease. So whether you choose the red, or the black, just be sure to grease them properly to avoid any squeaking. But really, the best way to prevent Prothane bushings from squeaking is to use the supplied pre-lube* and grease them properly at install.

The black bushings do have a small amount of graphite mixed in with the polyurethane which has the potential to help with squeaking. Without a coil spring insulator, these forces will be transmitted to the vehicle body and the driver is being sure to experience a great amount of discomfort while on travel. They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle. How are these two colors different?Īside from the actual color, there isn't really a difference at all between the red and the black. But is there a difference in them? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane's bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you. Plus, Prothane covers all of their coil spring isolators with a lifetime warranty handled in-house here at DST. However, knowing that you won't ever have to replace those isolators again is well worth it. Since these isolators are made of polyurethane instead of rubber, your NVH might increase slightly. Easily capable of dealing with the varying pressures, Prothane's polyurethane coil spring isolators will last much longer than the OE rubber. They do not adversely change ride characteristics. Assemble to the chassis the same way as O.E.M. Saves replacing again & again, lasting from 3 to 10 times longer than rubber isolators. Prothane's coil spring isolators are made of polyurethane, a material much more durable than rubber. Made of superior HYPER-FLEX polyurethane material. While rubber is good at absorbing vibrations, it doesn't last long against the constantly shifting weight and pressure. OE isolators are usually made out of rubber. Additionally, coil spring isolators are used to protect the control arms from impacting the coil spring. Try the safety isolator switch (just in front of steering box). While the coil springs take the edge off of the most intense bumps and vibrations, coil spring isolators are made to smooth out what's left. 15a In-line resistor terminal leading to coil and starter 17 19 Glow-plug switch Start. Another key component to this system are the coil spring isolators. If you have long travel dislocating suspension you have to be careful where you fit them.Primarily designed to eliminate the vibrations and noise created by driving over uneven surfaces, coil springs come standard on almost every vehicle today.
