my PST Strud rod Bushing Fell off the car! *PICS*
Can you please tell me what failed ? Your post does not explain the problem that you are having? Also your picture does not show the suspension or tell me what is going on? A worn or blown out strut rod bushing will not stuff a wheel into the fender like that?
As for the lower control arm bushing whether is be poly or rubber it is not responsible for holding the lower control arm in place. That is the job of the strut rod, a very similar design was used by Ford in their compact/ midsize of the 1960's like the Falcon, Fairlane and the mustang as they used a single lower bushing. Without the strut rod the control arm would deflect back and forth. The job of the control arm bushing is exactly that its a bushing.It provides an interface between two parts, damping the energy being transmitted through.
In the case of a poly bushings they not vulcanize to the innner and outer shell so yes they rotates freely through its range of motion allowing for faster weight transfer thus better handling. But I must reiterate the job of the lower control bushing is not to hold the control arm in place. We have sold numerous poly kits over the years and have continued to do so. Many of our competitors have as well like Firm feel. Mancini, Hotchkis and Summit. Plus the numerous customers on this site that have, if you do a search.
Please feel free to pm me with your order details and I will be happy to work with you on any issues that you may have with our product.
Thanks
