Rear Axle Bushing Kit for '79-04 Mustang

Just about everyone knows that you need good upper control arms for good traction and handling in the 1979 through 2004 Mustangs. Here is something that maybe you didn’t know: Most upper control arms on the market include a new bushing for the front end of the control arm, but don’t come with anything for the bushing on the axle, at the other end of the control arm. That’s like leaving the job only half finished!

Realspeed’s bushing kit is just the ticket to finish the job right. It includes new bushings, thrust washers and center sleeves to replace your tired, worn-out rubber axle bushings. The bushing are made from carefully selected, high quality, 88-durometer polyurethane, and molded with beveled edges to precisely control axle movement while still allowing the suspension to articulate freely without binding.

Note: These busing require the re-use of the original steel outer bushing shell. They do not come with outer shells. If you don’t have bushing shells for your axle you can purchase new stock Ford bushings (Part number M-4050-B) and use those shells.

Fits 1979-2004 Mustang (except 99-04 Cobra). Part number RS-0001
