Strange Development Bushing Kit
Posted August 29, 2006 01:11 PM by Tim Beggs.
Strange Development continues to push ahead with cutting edge suspension components for the 2005-2006 Ford Mustang. Recently, they have developed bushings that allow the Mustang to handle corners better and maintain an even stronger grip on the track. The S197 (recent body style code name) Mustang comes equipped from the factory with a simple rubber bushing in the front and a slightly larger hydraulic rubber bushing in the rear. Ford engineers sought to create a smoother ride for the new Mustang, but also sacrificed the feeling of the road for the driver. Strange Development's engineering team composed an idea for a nylon bushing that would eliminate unwanted bushing deflection. MDS filled nylon 6/6 was the material of choice since it can take more load than delrin and will provide a maintenance free operation. MDS (Molybdenum Disulfide) is similar to graphite and is self-lubricating. Each MDS filled bushing rides on a 316 stainless steel inner race. The bushings from Strange are truly innovative since they provide the rigidity superior to urethane and delrin and doesn't require ongoing maintenance.
