Off-Road PU Bush Kit – Ford Maverick (1993–1998)

• Ford

• Maverick

The first-generation Ford Maverick shares its suspension basis with the Nissan Terrano II. After many years of use, soft or worn rubber bushes at the control arms, rear axle links and anti-roll bars can allow additional movement.

This blue 85 Shore A heavy-duty off-road polyurethane kit renews the main front- and rear-suspension mounting points. It is designed for high loads and regular off-road use and deflects less than a softer standard specification.

Why use firmer PU in the Maverick?

Under high braking, lateral and drive forces, aged rubber can deform considerably and temporarily alter wheel and axle position. The 85 Shore A polyurethane retains its shape more consistently and can limit this movement.

This can provide more defined suspension response under payload and on rough roads. Because the mounting is firmer, impacts, noise and vibration can also be transmitted more directly to the chassis and body.

Important note on the front upper control arms

For the front upper control-arm bushes, remove only the old rubber from the original bush. The outer metal shell remains in the control arm and is reused when fitting the PU bushes.

Installation note

Remove the remaining old bushes completely and clean all mounting points thoroughly. Use the supplied assembly grease on the specified contact surfaces. Suspension and axle-location work should be carried out professionally, and all fasteners should be rechecked after installation.
