NOLATHANE Suspension Trailing Arm Bushing Set
Nolathane Trailing Arm Bushing Sets: Precision Polyurethane Performance
When it comes to restoring or upgrading your vehicle's rear suspension geometry, few components are as critical — or as overlooked — as the trailing arm bushings. These bushings locate the trailing arms relative to the chassis, directly influencing wheel alignment, cornering stability, and how predictably your vehicle responds under load. Nolathane has built a strong reputation in the performance and OEM-replacement bushing market by engineering solutions that go beyond simply replacing worn rubber — they improve on it.
Why Nolathane Stands Out in Trailing Arm Bushings
Nolathane manufactures its Suspension Trailing Arm Bushing Sets from high-grade polyurethane rather than the natural rubber used in most OEM applications. This material choice is intentional and meaningful: polyurethane resists petroleum-based fluids, ozone, and UV degradation far better than rubber, meaning the bushings maintain their shape and compliance over a much longer service life. Crucially, Nolathane's formulation is engineered to deliver a controlled increase in rigidity without sacrificing ride comfort — a balance that distinguishes quality polyurethane bushings from cheaper, overly stiff alternatives.
Trailing arm bushings are under constant stress. Every acceleration, braking event, and cornering load pushes and twists these components. As OEM rubber bushings age, they crack, compress unevenly, and allow the trailing arm to shift from its designed position — leading to rear-wheel toe changes, unpredictable handling, and accelerated tire wear. Nolathane's trailing arm bushing sets are dimensionally engineered to OEM specifications, ensuring a correct fit that restores proper suspension geometry right out of the box.
Application-Specific Engineering
One of the key strengths of Nolathane's approach is application-specific design. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all bushing, Nolathane develops trailing arm bushing sets tailored to the exact pivot points, bore diameters, and deflection requirements of specific vehicle platforms. This means the durometer (hardness rating) and geometry of each bushing set is matched to how that particular trailing arm actually moves — resulting in predictable, consistent suspension behavior across the full range of driving conditions.
For enthusiasts running their vehicles harder than stock — on twisty back roads, at autocross events, or on track days — Nolathane's polyurethane trailing arm bushings provide the added rigidity needed to keep the rear suspension planted and the geometry consistent under lateral loads. For daily drivers, the improved durability means fewer repeat repairs and longer intervals between suspension refreshes.
What's Included in a Nolathane Trailing Arm Bushing Set
Nolathane trailing arm bushing sets are sold as complete kits, typically including all bushings required for a full trailing arm service on the vehicle. Many kits include the appropriate grease or lubricant needed for installation, and Nolathane's polyurethane formulation is designed to work with standard grease to minimize noise and prevent the squeaking sometimes associated with lower-quality polyurethane products.
Whether you're chasing a suspension refresh on a daily driver or dialing in the rear end of a weekend track car, Nolathane trailing arm bushing sets offer a durable, geometry-correct solution that outlasts OEM rubber and delivers measurable improvements in handling consistency.
