Nissan 240Sx Strut Rod S Et

The Energy Suspension Nissan 240SX Strut Rod Bushing Set is a polyurethane suspension upgrade designed to reduce suspension movement and improve handling response on 1989–1998 Nissan 240SX models. This front strut rod assembly replaces factory rubber components with hyper-flex polyurethane bushings, which resist deflection and degradation far longer than OEM rubber in high-vibration environments.

Polyurethane bushings offer measurably tighter geometry than rubber throughout the suspension's range of motion. Factory rubber compounds compress and sag under cornering loads and road shock, introducing compliance that dulls steering response and destabilizes the chassis. The red hyper-flex material in this Energy Suspension kit maintains its original stiffness coefficient across thermal and mechanical stress cycles. Steel-reinforced construction ensures durability where rubber components would fatigue and crack after 50,000–80,000 miles in street or light track use. Cadmium plating on the metal components resists corrosion during installation and long-term exposure.

This kit addresses a known wear point on 240SX chassis—the front strut rod bushing typically softens by 80,000 miles, introducing noticeable looseness at the strut tower. Drivers preparing vehicles for autocross, road course work, or precision street handling will experience more consistent turn-in and predictable weight transfer once worn rubber is eliminated. The 240SX's strut-and-coilspring layout benefits significantly from bushing upgrades, as suspension geometry remains stable under acceleration and braking. Installation requires basic hand tools and removal of the front strut assembly.

Energy Suspension is an industry-standard polyurethane bushing manufacturer serving the automotive aftermarket for over 40 years. The 240SX platform remains popular in amateur motorsports and enthusiast circles, making reliable bushing kits a recurring need for owners maintaining aging chassis.
