Kerry,
I used poly bushings from Ted Schumacher and, though it may be only
my imagination, it seams the wheels stay pointed where they are
supposed to. And the ride isn't harsh at all. If I had it to do
over again I would have lubricated them with some of the silicon
grease I have since they tend to squeek at times.
Assembly is much easer than the rubber bushings since the
pre-compression is not required.
Have fun. It's always a great feeling to finish a suspension
rebuild and go on the first drive.
