[DeTomaso] detomaso the bushing debate- stock vs poly

[theemonkey]

When I purchased my car it had first generation hall poly bushings. They squeaked like crazy. I took it apart and used anti sieze as a Lube and it was significantly better.A few years ago I changed to offset bushings in the front and the new graphite impregnated poly bushings from Hall and they do not squeak at all.I have put stock style bushings and poly bushings in a couple other Panteras for people and the poly bushings are easier to install. You actually just use your hands to install the bushings no press needed. I would recommend the poly bushings over the stock style bushings as there is no real downside for the poly bushings if they are graphite impregnated and you use the Lube they come with.I have rubber bushings in my viking shocks and poly bushings on the sway bar center mounts and sphere ball sway bar ends. I used to have poly bushings on the sway bar on the ends but the sphere balls are much better.RichardSent from an ipotato.
