I use Delrin on my race car, that I machined up years ago, and they neither
squeak (not that you could hear it if they did) nor wear out.
No offence to Moss, Kelvin, but the factory rubber bushes would last for
years, they just were overly compliant. The rubber bushes sold now are
basically crap (no, come on Bill, say what you mean...) and self destruct
within a ridiculously short time. The V8 bushes thus seem an even more readily
available and attractive alternative, though I hadn't heard of them squeaking.
