Product Description

The Prothane 4-216-BL front control-arm bushing kit is a targeted performance upgrade for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 2500 & Ram 3500 platforms. Factory rubber control-arm bushings are prone to wear, cracking or sagging under load - especially in heavy-duty, lifted or off-road usage - which can result in front-end flex, alignment drift and reduced driver feel. This kit replaces those weak points with premium polyurethane bushings engineered for stiffer, more responsive performance.

Installation is designed to be straight-forward for compatible trucks in the specified model years. Once installed, drivers will typically notice improved steering firmness, better alignment stability under load, and enhanced confidence in the front suspension's behaviour. While the kit significantly improves chassis response, correct installation - including bushing press and re-torqueing - remains key to unlocking its full benefit.

Important note: Fitment is confirmed for model years 1994 through 2001 for Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks (2WD or 4WD). Coverage for model years beyond 2001 or for variants with non-OEM control arms or radically altered suspension geometry is unconfirmed at the time of this listing. Always verify your vehicle's exact year, drivetrain configuration, control-arm type and mounting geometry before purchase.
