Available Polyurethane Bushing Hardness Options
75A – Black – Street / Performance
The softest available option for the 90551.
Recommended for performance-oriented street vehicles where improved drivetrain stability is desired while retaining some vibration isolation.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 250–400 HP.
85A – Grey – Performance / Race
Provides increased drivetrain rigidity for modified engines, aggressive driving, and competition applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 400–500 HP.
95A – Red – Extreme Race
The stiffest available polyurethane option, intended for high-output engines and dedicated racing applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: 500+ HP.
These horsepower ranges are general manufacturer selection guidelines rather than guaranteed load ratings.
Important: Firmer polyurethane bushings generally increase noise, vibration, and harshness transmitted into the vehicle cabin.
