PU bushes do not twist, they rotate around the centre bolt/bush which is
usually stainless steel or galvanised steel. The latter can rust if
neglected leading to premature wear/failure.
That is why lubrication (and maintainance) is necessary

<div>Which reminds me of something I've wondered about:Â 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?<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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.<br>
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.<br>
It will make the handling a bit sharper, but do not expect
miracles.<br>
