If properly fitted, and properly greased
(with the supplied, white grease) poly doesn't squeak.
The crap rubber all these parts are made out of
do deteriorate faster than the originals.
They ARE NOT made of the same
rubber the originals were. Yes poly is stiffer.
Isn't that the point?!!!
There are black poly bushes that aren't near the quality
(or longevity) of the red poly bushes (yellow and blue
as well) The black is not as nice as the colored
variety. The Red, for our cars, I personally believe
are the best of the poly units.
