Joe and listers,

I would also like to hear opinions on the different bushing materials.
Ones I am aware of are:

1. Stock rubber
2. Uprated rubber (TRF and Moss have these for trailing arms)
3. Polyurethane (Moss)
4. Nylatron (TRF)

Any opinions or experiences are very welcome and appreciated in advance.
Thanks.

        To All,

        I took a look under the TR-6 this weekend while redoing the
brakes and 
        noticed that over 90% of the rubber needs to be replaced.
Anyone out 
        there used the poly bushings instead of rubber?  How much of a
ride 
        difference does it make?  By ride I mean the bouncing when you
hit pot 
        holes not the cornering ability?  Anything special you need to
worry 
        about if you install?  Things to check?  Thanks in advance.
