Front End Suspension Bushings

Suspension Bushing Sets for Antique Cars

Your car’s bushings are what help cushion your ride and make it smoother, and when they’re not doing their job, driving your classic car can get downright uncomfortable. The main reason you own a classic car is to be able to enjoy driving it around town, so replacing your control arm and sway arm bushings when they get worn down is important. Here at Andersen Restorations, we sell classic car front end suspension bushing sets that fit dozens of makes and models of antique cars.

What Do Bushings Do?

Bushings can be part of your classic car’s front end suspension system and your rear end suspension system. These small, cylindrical suspension parts cushion riders when your classic car hits a bump, pothole or other object. They help make your ride feel more luxurious.

Sitting inside the control arm or sway bar, bushings prevent metal parts from coming into contact with other metal, providing a secure buffer.

Polyurethane Suspension Kits

Years ago, all bushings were made of rubber. But today, many are made with polyurethane instead. Some purists will search high and low for rubber front end suspension bushings, but the truth is that they don’t last as long and provide a different riding experience.

Rubber bushings may last up to 15 years in perfect conditions. But if your car is exposed to heat, moisture, dirt, debris or road salt, this will shorten the rubber bushings’ life spans. Polyurethane front end bushings are made to last a lifetime and should only need to be installed once.

Complete Front End Rebuild Kits

Andersen Restorations is known for our kits, including front end rebuild kits, strut rod kits and antique auto suspension rebuild kits. Each targets a certain section of your classic car, but all our car restoration parts serve to help rebuild your suspension and steering systems.

Our goal is to offer our customers the opportunity to purchase only what they need — such as a front end suspension bushing kit — or a complete front end rebuild kit. Buying a kit makes classic car restoration easier, because you can be certain you have all the parts you need to do the job at hand.

Shopping for OEM Parts for Classic Cars

You can be certain when you buy from Andersen Restorations that you are getting quality antique car parts. We have been classic car parts suppliers for more than 30 years, and our clients trust our knowhow and our dedication to customer service.

When you shop with less-well-known antique car parts suppliers online, you can’t always be sure of what you’ll get. Some OEM parts are used, some are still in the box but very old and others may be remanufactured or reproductions. The upshot is that the antique car part you order and receive from a classic car parts supplier you don’t know may be of dubious quality and may not even fit your car.
