12-18 Mercedes CLS550 Polyurethane Subframe Bushings (rear)
Our Mercedes CLS550 polyurethane subframe bushings are a direct replacement for OEM rubber bushings. The OEM rubber bushings are very soft which make them ideal for isolating noise and vibrations; however, it comes at a cost of reduced vehicle handling. The OEM subframe bushings allow the rear subframe to move effortlessly causing less then ideal handling due to suspension alignment changing while under load. Another problem with the OEM bushings is their tendency to either break the mounting bolts or tear the threads out of the body of the car. These Mercedes polyurethane subframe bushings will help in reducing these failures as the force on the bolts will be less due to less movement of the bushings. Our polyurethane bushings not only hold the rear subframe in place, they do it with minimal increase in vibration and noise. Most customers will not notice any difference in vibration or noise with our street bushings.
Hardness choice will depend on how you would like the bushings to behave. If the vehicle is a daily driver/weekend fun car, we suggest purchasing the (daily driver/street) black bushing set. Our black subframe bushings will give the most comfort and feel close to the OEM Mercedes bushings from a comfort standpoint while holding the subframe in place. If your goal for the vehicle is mostly racing, we suggest purchasing our (race) red bushing set. The race bushings are very hard and will offer very little give. The red bushing set will increase vibration and noise slightly.
To best describe how these bushings will improve your car is it feels like you removed 200lbs off the car. The car feels much more planted. When changing direction, the car responds much quicker and effortlessly. Drag racers will also enjoys these bushing as they dramatically stiffen up the rear of the vehicle. This allows you to put more horsepower to the ground. These Mercedes polyurethane subframe bushings do all of this while only adding a minimal amount of NVH (noise/ vibration/ harshness) that most will not even notice *with Daily driver/street set*.
