Under the category it's never too late to upgrade an old car, I decided to
have Don D. install  (I helped too) poly bushings in my 92, along with the
new plastic swaybar links.  Overall I am very pleased.  A lot of the slop in
the suspension has been removed.  The car is smoother at 70 mph than it's
been in a long time.  I'm pretty sure that the remaining vibrations left are
due to the old slicers being out of round.

During the 3 hour drive home it rained quite a bit, and then the car was
covered in bugs so I ran it through the car wash.  With all the water, the
poly bushings are much noisier than the rubber ones, but it's something I
can live with.  Do you all spray these with WD-40 or such from time to time
to quiet it down?
