Corvette Rear Control Arm Bushings

The Corvette Rear Control Arm Bushings from Energy Suspension are precision-engineered polyurethane replacements designed for GM Corvette, XLR, and XLR-V models spanning 1997–2012. These trailing arm bushings restore suspension compliance and steering response that factory rubber components lose over time due to heat cycling and road stress. Whether you're maintaining a daily driver or preparing a performance platform for track duty, rear control arm bushings are critical wear items that directly affect chassis geometry, tire contact patch, and braking stability.

Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane formulation offers superior durability compared to OEM rubber, resisting degradation from UV exposure, ozone, and extreme temperature swings while maintaining elasticity across a wider performance envelope. The black polyurethane composition balances compliance with firmness, allowing the suspension to absorb road irregularities without introducing harsh NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) into the chassis. Each bushing in this kit is molded to OEM specifications, ensuring proper fitment and alignment—critical factors that prevent premature tire wear and maintain predictable handling characteristics during aggressive cornering or emergency maneuvers.

Technicians and enthusiasts working on Corvette C5 and C6 platforms will appreciate the straightforward installation process; this kit contains all components necessary for rear trailing arm bushing replacement on both sides. Proper installation requires correct alignment and torque sequencing to prevent binding and ensure suspension travel remains smooth. These bushings are ideal for owners seeking improved handling response, extended suspension component life, and enhanced steering feedback without compromising ride comfort or requiring extensive chassis modifications.
