Elephant Racing PolyBronze Spring Plate Bearings, 944 (1976-95)

PolyBronze bearings are superior to plastic bushing alternatives, here’s why:

Suspension mounts are coarse sheet metal pressings. They tend to be out-of-round and have irregularities that deform ordinary polyurethane bushings, pinching and binding the friction surface. Polyurethane is “grippy” with an inherently high coefficient of friction and combined with pinching polyurethane bushings create a lot of friction. The result is a harsh ride and reduced tire adhesion.

PolyBronze have a rigid bronze bearing core that does not deform. The polyurethane jacket absorbs mount irregularities while the bronze inner bearing remains true, providing a free-moving machined-fit that rides on a precision race. Provided grease fittings make re-lubrication a breeze and a figure 8 groove keeps grease in place.

The combination delivers zero squeaks and friction-free suspension movement. Well suited to street or track, ride quality. PolyBronze bearings replace compressible factory rubber bushings.

• “Just a brief note to let you know that I finally got around to installing the rear polybronze bushes in my car and to my delight have absolutely no squeaks or graunching, an absolute pleasure to drive now.” David W. – PolyBronze Bearings
