This liner also results in an extended service life that allows these bushings to even outlast your vehicle. With no need for additional lubrication, these bushings offer reliable, long-lasting performance without the hassle of regular maintenance and greasing. Built to withstand extreme conditions, the bushings are hydrophobic, heat-resistant up to 500°F, and resistant to water and common automotive chemicals. These bushings are covered by a limited lifetime warranty which covers material cracking, separation of the Teflon liner and polyurethane bushing, or squeaking under normal street or track conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufactured From High-Quality, Solid, 0.938” Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo Positions for Adjustability Based on Driver Preference \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSway Bar Rate Data: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e034Motorsport (Soft) -
