Subaru Hood Prop Rod Bushing

This is a single rubber bushing that holds the hood prop rod in place at the side of the engine bay. These commonly fall apart and sometimes completely disappear causing an annoyingly floppy prop rod. No one wants that.

Verified to fit on 89'-94' Subaru Justy, but may fit other older Subaru Models.

1 needed per car

Made of polyurethane rubber. More durable and crack resistant than OEM rubber. Although polyurethane is still flexible, it is slightly more firm than the factory rubber. This will result in sharper/better handling/feel, but it can also cause a slight increase in vibration transfer.

Lubricating grease is supplied with all bushing orders. All contact surfaces of the new bushings and steel sleeves should be thoroughly lubricated before installation for easier installation, smooth/quiet operation and long bushing life.

Due to the several custom options, nearly all items are made to order. Therefore, there could be up to a 10 business day production time on some orders before they ship.

Please message me if you have any questions about this item fitting your specific vehicle or for any other questions.

Disclaimers

Color. The formulation of polyurethane that I use to make bushings is chosen because of its high physical strength properties. An unfortunate downside of this type of polyurethane is that it can darken or discolor over time. Especially if it is exposed to UV light. This discoloration has no affect on physical properties but it only aesthetic. I highly recommend not leaving the bushings exposed to sunlight before they are installed. Obviously once installed, sunlight exposure isn't much of an issue but darkening may still occur.
