Hi Mitch,
Since I wrote that article http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=103 I have
encountered several other people complaining about problems with Urethane
bushes the worst of which was a case where the forward radius arm on the
rear suspension of a MkIII actually broke out of the body.
I'll be interested to hear what your experiances are.
