McLaren, one of the most storied names in motorsport, burst onto the supercar scene with the 2011 MP4-12C, quickly establishing itself as a major player in the junior supercar market. A key part of this success was the integration of motorsport-derived technology — such as carbon chassis construction — into a road-friendly, highly usable package.
Naturally, the suspension followed the same philosophy, featuring twin wishbones at each corner. Unfortunately, the original suspension bushes are fairly ordinary bonded rubber, and over time, this has created issues for owners.
With every road bump, this torsional, radial and axial movement within the bush stresses the rubber, causing it to tear and become delaminated from the centre mounting bar, allowing excessive movement and potential squeaking. Combine this with the natural ageing and oxidation of rubber, and even a top-tier supercar can feel far from its best.
Designed as a direct replacement for the OE rubber bushes, PF41K-1001 Wishbone Bush Kit is supplied for a range of McLaren models.
MP4-12C (2011–2014)
650S (2014–2017)
540C (2015–2021)
570S (2015–2021)
GT (2019–2024)
720S (2023– )
Note: These bushes do not fit LT or other specialist models.
Developed using our first-hand motorsport experience, key features include:
• Lightweight Black anodised CNC-milled aluminium mounting hardware.
• Over 2.8kg of weight saved compared to a complete set of OE rubber bushes.
• High-performance PTFE-lined WMU bearings running on stainless-steel sleeves for low friction and low wear
• Housed in 92ShA Polyurethane for compliance and increased radial bush stiffness by up to 20%.
• Pre-assembled, ready to press into your original McLaren wishbones (Fitting Tool sold separately).
Each PF41K-1001 kit contains eight bushes, enough for either the front or rear axle.
Also available is our PF41K-1001FT Wishbone Bush Fitting Tool Kit, consisting of precision-machined tools and a laser-cut support plate designed to assist with extracting the original McLaren bushes and installing the new components.
This is a true lifetime upgrade for your McLaren, providing greater chassis control and precision, engineered for high-performance and longevity.
For early MP4-12C‘s that use an M8 bolt, use PF41K-2001 Wishbone Bush Kit.
