Energy Suspension Formula 5 Prelube is an 8-ounce lubricant designed to reduce friction and extend the life of polyurethane suspension bushings and mounts.

This tub of Formula 5 prelube (part 9.11104) is formulated to work with Energy Suspension's high-performance Hyper-Flex polyurethane components. It helps ease installation, prevents squeaks, and minimizes wear between mating surfaces without attacking the polymer body. The non-reactive formula is intended for use where polyurethane meets metal or plastic, providing a thin, durable lubricating film that supports long-term performance under road and track conditions.

How does Formula 5 make installing polyurethane bushings easier?

Formula 5 prelube reduces friction during assembly so parts slide into position cleanly, lowering the risk of rolling, tearing or misalignment. A thin coating temporarily lubricates surfaces to help pressing, seating, or sliding operations without changing the bushing material.

  • Thin, tack-resistant texture for controlled application
  • Helps prevent tearing and deformation during installation
  • Compatible with Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane parts
  • Works on metal-to-poly contacts and polymer-to-polymer interfaces

Will this prelube prevent squeaks and reduce wear?

When applied correctly, Formula 5 creates a low-friction barrier that minimizes noise from relative movement and reduces abrasive wear at contact points. It does not bond parts together; instead, it sustains sliding performance so components operate more quietly and last longer under stress.

  • Reduces metal-on-polyurethane noise and chatter
  • Forms a lubricating film that resists displacement under load
  • Helps maintain smooth articulation during suspension travel

Is Formula 5 safe for my vehicle’s polyurethane components and finishes?

Formula 5 is formulated to be non-reactive with polyurethane compounds used by Energy Suspension, so it won't soften or degrade Hyper-Flex materials when used as directed. It’s intended for targeted application; avoid excessive use on painted or rubberized finishes to prevent surface spotting.

  • Compatible with Energy Suspension polyurethane formulations
  • Not a solvent—won’t dissolve polymer bushings when used properly
  • Apply sparingly to avoid excess runoff onto painted surfaces

How much product is included and how is it applied?

The package contains an 8-ounce tub, which is ample for multiple bushing installs or periodic relubrication of mounts on a single vehicle. Application is straightforward: clean mating surfaces, apply a light coat of prelube to the bushing or housing, then assemble; wipe away any excess.

  • 8 fl oz tub—sufficient for several installations
  • Apply thinly with a brush, swab, or finger (gloves recommended)
  • Clean surfaces first for best adhesion and performance

Who this product is for: Energy Suspension Formula 5 Prelube is intended for enthusiasts, professional mechanics, and fabricators who use polyurethane bushings, mounts, or isolators—especially owners of cars, trucks, SUVs, track vehicles, and custom builds using Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex components. If you install or maintain polyurethane suspension parts and want smoother assembly, reduced noise, and extended component life, this prelube is a practical addition to your toolkit.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Formula 5 on all Energy Suspension polyurethane parts?

A: Yes—Formula 5 is compatible with Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane when applied sparingly and as instructed.

Q: How much tub content do I need per bushing?

A: A thin film is sufficient; one 8 oz tub covers multiple bushings depending on size and frequency of application.
