Superpro Master Vehicle Bushing Kit – 1990–1993 Volvo 240 | Complete Front & Rear Suspension Bushing Rebuild
The Superpro Master Vehicle Bushing Kit for the 1990–1993 Volvo 240 is a comprehensive front and rear suspension bushing kit that addresses all key bushing locations across the 240's suspension and chassis — replacing every critical rubber bushing with Superpro's polyurethane bushings in a single, complete kit that eliminates the guesswork of assembling a bushing kit location by location. The Volvo 240 is one of the most enduring and beloved classic European platforms — a car that rewards proper maintenance and suspension restoration with handling precision and chassis integrity that the factory rubber bushings, degraded by age and use, can no longer provide. Superpro's Master Vehicle Kit is the definitive bushing solution for 240 owners who want to restore and improve their car's suspension to a standard that exceeds the factory rubber — with polyurethane bushings that will not degrade, compress, or deteriorate over time.
Key Features:
- Complete front and rear coverage — addresses all key bushing locations across the 1990–1993 Volvo 240's front and rear suspension and chassis — a complete bushing rebuild in a single kit
- Superpro polyurethane bushings — industry-leading polyurethane material that resists compression, degradation, oil, and UV exposure — a lifetime solution that will not deteriorate like the factory rubber bushings
- Eliminates guesswork — Superpro's Master Vehicle Kit takes the guesswork out of assembling a bushing kit location by location — all key locations are addressed in a single, curated kit
- Improved handling precision — polyurethane bushings reduce suspension compliance and deflection compared to aged rubber — improved steering precision, more consistent suspension geometry, and more predictable handling
- Reduced tyre wear — correct suspension geometry maintained by firm polyurethane bushings reduces abnormal tyre wear caused by suspension deflection under load
- Maintenance-free — Superpro polyurethane bushings are maintenance-free once installed — no greasing, no replacement schedule, no degradation over time
- Kit pricing value — Superpro's Master Vehicle Kit pricing provides value over sourcing individual bushing sets for each location separately
- Superpro quality — manufactured by Superpro, one of the most respected polyurethane bushing brands in the performance and restoration aftermarket
Why the Volvo 240 Needs a Bushing Rebuild:
- Age and Rubber Degradation: The 1990–1993 Volvo 240 is now 30+ years old — and the factory rubber suspension bushings have been subjected to three decades of heat cycling, UV exposure, oil contamination, and mechanical stress. Rubber bushings degrade over time — they compress, crack, and lose their ability to correctly locate suspension components. Degraded bushings allow suspension components to move in ways they were not designed to — causing imprecise steering, inconsistent suspension geometry, abnormal tyre wear, and the characteristic vagueness and looseness that characterizes a high-mileage 240 with original bushings.
- Polyurethane Advantage: Superpro's polyurethane bushings resist the degradation mechanisms that destroy rubber bushings — they do not compress under load, do not crack from UV exposure, and do not deteriorate from oil or fluid contamination. A polyurethane bushing installed today will perform the same in 20 years as it does on day one — a genuine lifetime solution that the factory rubber cannot match.
- Handling and Precision: A Volvo 240 with fresh Superpro polyurethane bushings throughout the suspension handles with a precision and consistency that a rubber-bushed 240 cannot replicate — the suspension components are correctly located, the steering is more precise, and the car's handling balance is more predictable and more enjoyable. For 240 owners who drive their car with enthusiasm, a complete bushing rebuild is one of the most impactful single upgrades available.
- Restoration Value: For 240 owners restoring their car to a high standard, a complete Superpro bushing rebuild is a fundamental step — addressing the suspension's most age-sensitive components with a solution that will outlast the car's remaining service life.
Superpro Polyurethane — Material Advantage:
Superpro's polyurethane compound is engineered specifically for suspension bushing applications — a material that provides the correct balance of stiffness and compliance for performance and restoration use. Superpro's polyurethane is harder than rubber — reducing suspension deflection and improving handling precision — but softer than solid aluminium or delrin alternatives that transmit NVH directly into the chassis. The result is a bushing that improves handling without the harshness of solid mounts — correct for a 240 that is used on the street as well as driven with enthusiasm. Superpro's polyurethane is also self-lubricating in many applications — reducing the squeaking that affects some polyurethane bushing brands that require regular greasing.
Specifications:

Fitment Information:
- 1990–1993 Volvo 240 — all variants
- Verify fitment for your specific 240 model year and variant before ordering — confirm that SPRKIT5237K covers all bushing locations for your specific 240 configuration
- Note: Professional installation by an experienced suspension specialist strongly recommended — bushing replacement requires correct press tools for bushing removal and installation, correct torque specifications, and a four-wheel alignment after installation.
What's Included:
- Complete Superpro polyurethane bushing set for all key front and rear suspension and chassis bushing locations on the 1990–1993 Volvo 240
- Refer to Superpro's product documentation for the complete list of bushing locations and part numbers included in the kit
Installation Notes:
- Professional installation by an experienced suspension specialist strongly recommended — bushing replacement requires correct press tools for bushing removal and installation, correct torque specifications, and a four-wheel alignment after installation
- A four-wheel alignment is required after bushing installation — new bushings change the suspension's compliance characteristics and the alignment should be verified and set after installation
- Apply the correct lubricant to polyurethane bushings during installation — use only Superpro-approved lubricant (typically supplied with the kit) — do not use petroleum-based lubricants that can degrade polyurethane
- Torque all suspension fasteners to the correct specification with the suspension at ride height (vehicle weight on the wheels) — torquing suspension fasteners with the suspension hanging free will pre-load the bushings incorrectly and cause premature wear
- Inspect all suspension components (control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, wheel bearings) before installation — a bushing rebuild is the correct time to address any other worn suspension components
