Reduce wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement on your 2015 S550 Mustang
with a Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit from BMR Suspension. Built from 6061-T6 billet
aluminum, stainless steel, and heavy-duty 1 5/8-inch DOM steel tubing, BMR’s CB005
Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit is designed to nearly eliminate cradle bushing deflection,
which is one of the biggest causes of wheelhop. BMR’s CB005’s billet aluminum upper
bushing lockout rings capture the inner bushing sleeve (front and rear) and the outer lip
of the bushing cup on the cradle (front). The lower bushing locating washers (front)
capture the bottom portion of the bushings’ inner sleeves. By capturing both parts of the
bushings’ inner sleeves, movement on any plane (fore/aft, lateral, and vertical) is nearly
eliminated. This assembly is completed with bolt-on cradle braces that replace the
factory sheer plates. The large lug on the cradle side of the braces positively locates the
cradle, ensuring it is perfectly centered under the car. The two bolts in the frame ensure
the location of the cradle can’t change under any form of driving.

BMR Suspension designed the CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit for any application.
This 100% bolt-on kit use existing boltholes and hardware, allowing for easy installation
with simple hand tools. Once installed, the Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit minimized
bushing and cradle deflection with nearly no change in NVH. (During BMR’s testing, no
change in NVH was observed without accompanying modifications.) The cradle brace
also gives a convenient, rock-solid jacking point on the rear of the vehicle. This single kit
helps address wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement, unlike other
companies that make you buy multiple parts to get the entire “system.” You would
spend well over double the price, and those “systems” don't provide you with the
performance and value-per-dollar that the CB005 gives you. BMR Suspension’s CB005
Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit is the only part you need to affordably and effectively lessen
wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement.

Throughout testing, BMR has seen about an 80%-90% reduction in fore/aft and lateral
cradle bushing deflection. A car with no other mods and stock tires that isn’t driven
overly hard is going to see a 90% or higher reduction, while a more race oriented S550
with sticky tires will see slightly less of a reduction. Launching the test vehicle at over
7,000 rpm on drag radials, BMR saw about an 80% reduction in bushing deflection.
Through the testing BMR has seen a 95% or greater reduction in vertical deflection in all
testing situations.

NOTE: This product does not currently work on Convertible models, unless you
install it without the fore-end lower cradle braces.
