they squeak(?) and need special lubrication.
Is this so? What do I need to be aware of in this respect?

Gary,
I am doing a resto on the 6 and am planning to use rubber...here's my
thoughts - I believe the claims that the poly will probably last longer. I
also believe the claims that the rubber bushings contribute to a less harsh
ride and don't squeak so, since I'm not going to autocross the 6 every
weekend and hate squeaky suspensions, I'm going for comfort albeit shorter
lived!
Good luck...this is always a hot topic!
