Maintaining the suspension system of your Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero is crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience.

Replacing these with high-quality polyurethane bushings can significantly enhance the performance and longevity of your vehicle’s suspension. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of using Siberian Bushing TM Part #: 3-20-984, a polyurethane bushing set designed for the front suspension upper arm, compatible with various Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero models.

Advantages of Polyurethane Bushings Over Rubber
1. Durability: Polyurethane (PU) bushings are known for their superior durability compared to traditional rubber bushings. Rubber bushings tend to deteriorate over time due to exposure to heat, oils, and other environmental factors. PU bushings, on the other hand, are resistant to these elements, ensuring a longer lifespan.
2. Performance: PU bushings provide better handling and stability. They are firmer than rubber bushings, reducing unwanted flex in the suspension system. This results in more precise steering and improved overall vehicle control, especially in off-road conditions where the Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero excels.
3. Maintenance: Unlike rubber bushings, which often need to be replaced frequently due to wear and tear, PU bushings require less frequent replacements, saving time and money in the long run.
