bushings, etc.
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
