Overview:
Energy Suspension’s Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushings are engineered to replace the factory rubber bushings in your Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, or Subaru BRZ, providing enhanced handling precision and improved suspension response. Designed for enthusiasts who demand sharper steering feedback and a more connected driving experience, these bushings eliminate the softness and compliance of worn or stock rubber components. Whether you’re tackling spirited canyon runs or daily driving, these bushings deliver consistent performance and durability.
Unlike traditional rubber bushings that degrade over time due to exposure to oils, road salts, and chemicals, Energy Suspension’s polyurethane formulation maintains its shape and stiffness, ensuring long-lasting control arm stability and improved suspension geometry. This upgrade is ideal for drivers seeking to restore or enhance their vehicle’s original handling characteristics.

- Enhances suspension response during high-speed cornering and rough road conditions
- Direct replacement for factory bushings with no modifications required
- Available in two color options: Red (8.3131R) and Graphite Black (8.3131G)
- Durable design extends service life compared to OEM rubber bushings
- Compatible with 2013–2016 Scion FR-S, 2017–2020 Toyota 86, and 2013–2020 Subaru BRZ models
Construction & Design:
These bushings are precision-molded from premium polyurethane, a material chosen for its superior resistance to environmental contaminants and mechanical wear. Unlike rubber, polyurethane does not absorb oils or degrade from exposure to road chemicals, ensuring consistent performance throughout its lifespan. The bushings are engineered to fit perfectly into the front control arms, maintaining suspension alignment and geometry under dynamic driving conditions.
Energy Suspension’s manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances and consistent hardness, providing a firm yet compliant interface between suspension components. This balance reduces unwanted flex and movement, translating into improved vehicle stability and driver confidence.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of Energy Suspension Front Control Arm Bushings is straightforward and designed to be a direct swap for the original rubber bushings. No special modifications or machining are required, making this an accessible upgrade for enthusiasts and professional installers alike. It is recommended to have the suspension components inspected and aligned after installation to ensure optimal performance and tire wear.
These bushings fit the following vehicles:
- Scion FR-S (2013–2016)
- Toyota 86 (2017–2020)
- Subaru BRZ (2013–2020)
What's Included:
- Set of polyurethane front control arm bushings (complete for both sides)
- Choice of color: Red (8.3131R) or Graphite Black (8.3131G)
- Installation instructions (where applicable)
Ideal For:
This product is ideal for drivers who want to restore or improve their vehicle’s handling precision by replacing worn factory rubber bushings. It suits enthusiasts who participate in spirited driving, autocross, or track days, as well as daily drivers seeking enhanced suspension responsiveness and durability. If your Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, or Subaru BRZ exhibits vague steering or excessive suspension compliance, these bushings provide a reliable upgrade to sharpen your driving experience.
