LCA bush- rubber vs poly?

[EnzoRWD]

ok, so i was all set to get some new front LCA;s with polyurethane bushings, but i stopped to think: are they worth double the price of oem? i mean, im going to replace a 12 yr old arm with a new one, and new ball joint and bushings, is it worth another 100 for poly bushings? the improvement will already be significant...-Enzo

the poly is a lot stiffer and stronger than the rubber. you'll probably never have to replace it again.

$100 extra seems overpriced. where are you getting it from?

pdm..... its 50 extra per. and im getting two. so 100 for two w/ rubber, 200 for two w/ poly.-Enzo

They are $70 for the set at PDM.

You can install them on your own and save yourself $30.

If you buy them installed, you should realize that you are also paying for their labor...so the bushings are not $50 per side.
