Hello everybody,
 
This is not Chevelle related
 
We are thinking about moving and in such case we would need another car and I have nearly convinced my girlfriend that a GMC Typhoon is a perfect car for us.
 
Now I would like some pro and cons of these limited production GMC's, please feel free to drop me line off list for some info.
 
Thanks !
 
Kind Regards
 
Andr�

I have Polygraphite bushings in my Vette, the ride is fine, the bushings squeak a bit, but the exhaust is loud enough to drown out the squeaking.
 
I have Del-a-lum bushings throughout my Elky, they don't squeak (I'm assuming because once again the exhaust is pretty loud) but the ride is a bit rough.  I'm not sure if the rough ride is because of the bushings or the 17" wheels & tires or the combo of the two. 
 
If you're not looking for a performance or ride characteristic change but want to bring your suspension back to "like new" then I would suggest going with new rubber bushings all around.  Get new coil springs and shocks while you're at it and the car will ride great.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Polyurethane bushings, etc.

I'm about to install new control arm bushings and maybe do a little bit of other work and I am wondering about the list's opinion of polyurethane and other materials. I've heard that different materials have different problems and I'm trying to learn what to use before I start so that, as time goes on, the whole car is consistent. Any opinions out there???
 
Thanks,
Eman
