Of those you mentioned, polygrphite is the quiet one that is firm. That would be my choice. Sam |

This what you're asking has inspired much debate. Me, I would likely pick rubber, but if I were to use urethane it would be the graphite-impregnated type ("Polygraphite" is one brand), not the plain polyurethane. Juan, can you tell us more about this Grilon material? Are A-body bushings available in it, or is this a custom deal? |

I like poly in the rear spring bushings and front sway bar bushings. Polygraphite may be better and not squeak like polyurethane. Everything else is just fine with rubber. Lou |

I have heard that polygraphite in the lower control arms and rear spring bushings - and normal rubber for the rest gives the best combination I would say the bushings on the sway bars as well Juan I am interested to hear more ...please continue ...maybe we can beat the dead horse again  What is this material?

I would recommend polygraphite on the lower control arms only if you put zerk fittings in, and keep them lubed. Otherwise they collect water, and rust. Sam |

Since you say this car is a cruiser I would go rubber most everywhere except the sway bar end links and maybe the sway bar pivots. The handling gains from polyurethane in the control arms isn't worth the noise. |

Interesting thing my rear spring rubbers: The front ones look quite healthy after 40 years on the road the shackle bushes are totally shot - Up front the stab bar link rubbers are gone - but the locating bushes? are fine |
