Ridetech Subframe Bushing Kit – 1967-1981 GM F-Body & 1968-1974 Nova
The Ridetech Subframe Bushing Kit is a high-performance replacement for the factory rubber subframe bushings on 1967-1981 GM F-Body vehicles (Camaro, Firebird) and 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova.
These precision-engineered bushings significantly reduce unwanted subframe movement, improving steering response, handling precision, and overall chassis rigidity. Manufactured from durable polyurethane, they provide a noticeable upgrade in cornering stability and front-end feel while maintaining acceptable ride quality for street-driven classics.
This kit is an excellent choice for restored muscle cars, Pro Touring builds, or any F-Body/Nova where sharper handling and reduced deflection are desired.
