I believe that Superflex <www.superflex.co.uk> provide three? grades of
polyurethane bushings depending upon application. Red, Yellow & Blue.
I have road grade poly bushings everywhere on my road car, and experience no
such harshness compared with modern poor quality rubber.
Some of the cheaper versions may not provide such a choice, such as polybush
etc
