SuperPro Front Control Arm Upper-Inner Bushing Kit for 1967-1974 Volvo 142, 144 and 145

This is the SuperPro Front Control Arm Upper-Inner Bushing Kit for the 1967-1974 Volvo 142, 144 and 145. Control arm bushings are the pivots that hold each arm to the body or subframe, and their condition has a direct effect on alignment, steering response and braking stability. It suits street cars, restorations and lowered cars where a firmer, more precise feel is the goal.

Factory rubber bushings are tuned for comfort, and over time heat, oil and age make them crack, sag and tear. Once that happens the arm or component they hold can move around more than the engineers intended, which shows up as clunks, vague steering, uneven tire wear or a car that feels loose over rough roads.

Install notes

These bushings press into their housings, so you may need a hydraulic press, or a shop with one, to fit them. A wheel alignment afterwards is a good idea when you replace locating bushings.
