Hello 6ers!
Everyone says that the poly is better, but I think I heard it discussed that
they squeak(?) and need special lubrication.
Is this so? What do I need to be aware of in this respect?

I have a 73 tr6 which needs a front suspension rebuid which I hope to do
myself.
I have the suspension (off car) from a 76 parts car and planned on
rebuilding the 76 componets and then transpanting them into the 73.  Any
tips or pointers would be appreciated !!!
thanks!
