Which reminds me of something I've wondered about: Since the original,
steel/rubber bushings were 'locked' in place and twisted with the A-arm
movement should PU/nylon bushings be lubricated (which would defeat the purpose
of having the bushings twist with suspension travel?

The standard PU bushes are fine. When fitting they have to be lubricated
profusely. There should be no fear of cracking etc. They may be a bit harsher,
but new rubber bushes would be as well. The harder varieties are more for track
use and may be a bit to harsh for everyday use.
If you are afraid of cracking fit softer PU or rubber bushes to the shock
absorbers. Keep the PU bushes lubed regularly with silicone lubricant, that
will keep the squeaking and groaning at bay.
It will make the handling a bit sharper, but do not expect miracles.

Hello list,
I would like to hear the collective wisdom.............on suspension bushings
About a year ago I bought all the bushes (SuperPro brand) to rebuild my rear
suspension........I am getting ready to install them soon...... I was also
going to order my front suspension too from (SuperPro) BUT, I did a little
reading last night ....Michael Salter's site,etc,etc. Now I am not so sure
about poly urethane bushes verses rubber.......The SuperPro bushes I bought
already were expensive...........but its a fair job to replace them....only to
have a harse ride, sqeaks ,groans, cracked frame etc,etc,
When I bought the SuperPro bushes ....someone do not remember who told me they
were the best....so I bought them
So what is the BEST bushes and who sells them?? will the SuperPro be alright
for the rear? or not?
Thanks for any help
