P.S. have not installed one piece, but have tried similar, I strongly suspe=
ct they make a very simple job into a PITA.

Greetings,

This concerns the front suspension of my =E2=80=9867 TR4A.

The bushings that go over the upper fulcrum pin and support the upper wishb=
one need replacing, something I=E2=80=99ve never done.

I=E2=80=99m wondering if anyone has an opinion on the best replacement bushing

 use.

I=E2=80=99m referring to item 4:=20

Moss offers a selection of replacements: one rubber, three polyurethane. Th=
e more expensive poly is a =E2=80=9Cone piece=E2=80=9D bushing, while the rest 
are two p=
ieces.

Two-piece poly:

One-piece poly:

=20

I=E2=80=99m interested in opinions on:

1: poly vs. rubber

2: one-piece vs. two-piece

3: anything else you think might help, like is there something I should pro=
bably also look at replacing while doing this work?

Thank you,
