Little History
PROTHANE™ was founded in 1991 when it acquired a
little known manufacturer by the name of BC Engineering. At the
time, BC offered less than 100 part numbers, mostly for trucks. But
it's special formulations, precise engineering methods and attention
to customer's needs caught our eye. Well, the rest as they say is
history and we now offer the most extensive line of urethane based
performance products for cars and trucks on the planet. Whether it's
an Asian or European import or any popular American car or truck,
PROTHANE™ has products for it.
Phil's Inc. has been a
warehouse distributor for DEE Engineering, the parent company of
Prothane since 1968.
Why Use Urethane?
Production
vehicles are built using rubber bushings in control arms, strut
arms, leaf springs, body mounts, motor mounts, transmission mounts,
sway bars and shocks. Additionally, rubber components can be found
being used on coil spring pads, leaf spring pads and suspension bump
stops. Not only are rubber components on the soft side to
accommodate the typical car and truck buyer, they tend to
deteriorate rapidly. This contributes to premature component
failure, a "spongy" ride and less than ideal performance handling.
Urethane can correct these conditions, while improving drivability
Innovative
Solutions
We have conquered many design challenges with some pretty cool
innovations. Here are two examples: The first one was eliminating
the need for grease fittings or the inclusion of worthless additives
which may reduce the integrity of the part. We were the very first
to use splined or grooved bores which holds in our very own
SuperGrease™-guaranteeing you years of squeak free operation! The
other is our super trick Motor Mount Inserts for front drive sport
compacts. This unique approach lets the vehicle be driven either
hard or easy without stock mount failure or any ride sacrifice.
