120168 - IPD Poly Subframe Bushing Insert Kit

Product Description

IPD sub-frame inserts are a great way to make a dramatic improvement in ride and control of your car. They are designed to be a cost-effective way to supplement new bushings or to bring new life to old worn bushings. Installation is straight forward and the average D-I-Y can easily handle the job.  

The engine cradle or sub-frame on these models is supported by 4 rubber “open window” style mounts. This “open window” design allows for vibration isolation and to minimize the NVH or (noise, vibration, harshness) associated with some models. This is a great way to keep a nice quiet ride but there is a downside. Road chemicals used in many locations, heat, driving conditions and simple time cause these bushings to fatigue. This can translate to improper wheel alignment, clunking and an overall uncomfortable, costly and unsafe condition especially when braking.

With the addition of the iPd sub-frame inserts, you can not only restore that new car feel but improve on it. They will improve the ride, control and feel of the car without a compromise in comfort. They can be used in conjunction with new bushings or simply install them on the current ones. They truly make the car a joy to drive without a sacrifice in comfort. They are a much less expensive alternative to replacing worn factory bushings and the installation is much faster, easier and can be done with basic hand tools and minimal experience.

Possible conditions associated with worn bushings:

• Uneven tire wear even after proper alignment.
• ‘Darting’ when braking or torque steer when accelerating.
• Unidentifiable clunking from front suspension.
• *uncontrollable movement , left or right with no steering input.
