Poly bushings..need opinions
 
Ive read that a lot of people have done the poly bushings but I was wondering do they start to sqeel and screech...I never had poly bushings on any of my cars and some people say they start to sound annoying after a while. Any truth to this?..its my DD so is it better to go with polyurethane bushings or OEM rubber bushings?..all my bushings are shot so I gotta replace them pretty soon. thanks in advance.

doesnt the lube get dried up after a while??

Hasn't in three years. silicon based not petroleum. if your bushings are shot and you would like to have a car that goes where you point it rather than wandering the road like a drunk pig then replace the outer tie rod ends and balljoints when you do the bushings. you will be amazed at the handling difference. Shocks a good idea also.

Out of every race car with poly and solid bushings I have ever ridden in, drove or worked on, I have never had them squeak. Lube is the key, install zirk fitting if you have to.
