John -
Wanted to put my 1.25 cents worth in if it's not too late...
I put the Nylatron bushings in my '73 TR6 front end a coupla years back. Lubed
'em up real good and so forth. They were fine for about 6 months but then they
started to creak and groan and crack... extremely loud, extremely embarrasing,
extremely etc. Tried WD-40 to quiet them; made no difference.
I really really liked the way the car felt and drove with the hard bushings,
but couldn't tolerate the noise. Went back to rubber.
Strangely enough, I have some hard plastic bushings in the rear suspension that
I got from a local guy that work fine. Don't know what they're made from; some
black material. Not as hard as nylon.

I want to thank everybody for their input on my problem with the decision of
what type of suspension bushings I should use. After reviewing several
comments from the list I have decided to go with the Nylatron kit from TRF.
Will be getting back with you with the results as soon as they are
installed. Thanks again.
