<\/p>\nProthane makes bushings in both colors. But is there a difference? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane’s bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you.<\/p>\n

They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle.
