The 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V is renowned for its power and luxury, but like many performance vehicles, the factory rubber rear subframe bushings can be a weak point when pushing the car to its limits. These OEM bushings, while excellent at isolating noise and vibration for a comfortable ride, allow for excessive subframe movement. This movement leads to unwanted changes in suspension geometry, ultimately compromising handling and responsiveness, especially during aggressive driving or cornering.
Creative Steel’s polyurethane rear subframe bushings for the 09-15 Cadillac CTS-V offer a significant upgrade over the soft factory rubber. Designed as a direct replacement, these bushings are engineered to minimize subframe movement, maintaining proper suspension alignment and maximizing handling precision. By firmly securing the rear subframe, you’ll experience improved cornering stability, enhanced steering response, and a more connected feel to the road.
We understand that Cadillac CTS-V owners appreciate both performance and refinement. That’s why our polyurethane bushings are designed to strike the perfect balance. While dramatically improving handling, they introduce minimal additional noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) into the cabin, particularly with our street-oriented black bushing option.
Choosing the right bushing hardness is crucial to tailor your CTS-V to your specific needs:
-
Street/Daily Driver (Black Bushings – 75A Durometer): Ideal for daily driving and weekend spirited drives. These bushings provide a ride quality comparable to OEM bushings in terms of comfort, while delivering substantial handling improvements by effectively controlling subframe movement. You’ll gain enhanced performance without sacrificing daily driving enjoyment.
-
Race/Track (Red Bushings – 95A Durometer): Engineered for racing enthusiasts and track-focused builds. The red race bushings are significantly firmer, offering minimal subframe flex for ultimate handling and responsiveness on the track. While these bushings maximize performance, some increase in NVH may be noticeable.
For those seeking the ultimate in rigidity for dedicated race applications, we also offer solid billet aluminum subframe bushings, available here: 09-15 Cadillac CTS-V Billet Aluminum Subframe Bushings
