bushings

This a old thread too but worth discussing.

poly bushings will make the car stiffer... and stock rubber will give you back your stock softer ride.

poly pluses-
-stiff in turns and prevents body and suspension roll.
-handles torque better
-pretty much lasts forever
-cost is relatively cheap

poly minuses-
-transfer more of the shock of the road through the suspension

rubber pluses-
- soft factory ride
- for show they look stock
- keep down noise being transfered through the drive line

rubber minuses
- does not transfer torque as well as poly
- body sway more in turns
- has a much shorter life and breaks down with heat and oil etc.
- cost tends to be more than poly ??? yes that is correct. at least compared to moog.

I am sure there are more opinions...Jim
