Thanks for the heads up. Rubber is the best choice Closer examination =
indicates that 2 need replacing and missing one.  Now that the car is =
back on the road, every spring before I leave Florida for the north, =
after putting it on jack stands I will look at all the bushings, oiling =
the leaf springs and so in before putting the cover on the car.

Jean do you have a list of things you look out for every year?

If I recall correctly, what was discussed previously on these poly =
bushings is that they will definitely last longer, have tendency to =
squeak and give a bit harsher ride.=20

I would just replace the missing one and the cracked one with new rubber =
ones, simply because, while they may not last anywhere as long, it is =
still basically a maintenance item and even if I have to do that job =
every 5 to 6 years, it is part of my maintenance of the car.

FWIW I=E2=80=99ve replaced some and eventually all of my rubber bushings =

the cause.=20

When I replaced the busing 30 plus years ago, the only thing available =

consensus of opinion rubber or poly.
