Poly or del alum bushings

[Northcoastnovas]

Any body have any advice about poly urethane bushings or del alum bushings from global west?Trying to decide which to run on a future project.Mainly street driven vehicle.Is it true poly bushings are noisy bind and squeak?

I recently installed Energy's poly bushings and they are annoying. I will probably end up replacing them.

For body bushings, how much harsher is the ride with the Del-alum bushings?

[Vince@Meanstreets]

its subjective....i don't notice the harshness but i have had others mention but not complain about the ride.

Oh man that hurts :rofl: ,sand.I'm surprised by this because I asked these questions before I bought poly bushings and a number of people said go with poly.I didn't ask here,on another forum.Well at least I didn't install them and then find out.Thanks for the advice.Know any one who wants a set of poly bushings.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Poly should never be used in any application that articulates.

That vid cracks me up! Chris is so serious and the matter of fact tone just makes it.
