Heavy-Duty Control Arm Bushing Kit 901 341 421 02 for Porsche 911, 912, 914, 930 Options

[UROpartsman]

More than 9,000 Porsche sports cars have been happily repaired with the URO Control Arm Bushing Kit over the last ten years! To celebrate and offer enthusiasts another option, URO spent the last year developing a performance bushing kit for those willing to trade some ride comfort for more responsive handling. The rubber used for these "heavy-duty" bushings is 27% more firm than OEM durometer bushings to minimize deflection, and being natural rubber URO's HD bushings are highly resistant to cold flow deformation.

MSRP for URO's HD Control Arm Bushing Kit is $34.95 and it's available from Porsche specialists such as Sierra Madre Collection in Southern California and Auto Atlanta in Marietta, GA.

Happy to explain, thanks for asking. Control arm bushings really need to be pre-heated in boiling water and quickly installed while hot with liquid soap as a lubricant.

Here's an old installation video:

If you need additional help with installation, I could contact a few professional technicians and ask them if they have any tips they could share.

Our standard bushings have the same durometer as OEM, and our "HD" version bushings have a 27% higher durometer (on the Shore A scale) than OEM. This is easy (though expensive) for anyone to verify for themselves; just purchase a new OEM control arm from Porsche and compare the bushing durometer to ours and others on the market. We have two OEM control arms (one new and one NOS) in our library, which were used when designing our bushings.

We don't currently publish the durometer of our bushings because one of our competitors claims that his new bushings are the same durometer as OEM, but clearly this competitor hasn't actually checked the durometer of a new OEM bushing properly, and it's rather ironic. (He probably checked an old, age-hardened OE bushing.) It's also humorous that his bushings appear to have the exact same improved shape as our bushings (which we've been selling for a decade), almost as if URO bushings were used to create his injection mold.

Naturally it's fine for anyone to sell bushings of any durometer they want, it's a free country. With URO, Porsche enthusiasts have a choice between OEM durometer and 27% more firm than OEM, and can decide which is best for them. We sell about 1,000 sets of our standard bushings to professional repair and restoration shops every year, and expect these new HD bushings to be just as popular.
