Front end rubber bushing replacement

[lex luther]

Looks like it is that time. Anyone used the plastic graphite replacements or greaseable replacements? I understand the the earlier versions squeaked, something I would like to avoid. Suggestions on overall front end replacement parts appreciated.

I forget which it was . A car tv program was building a chevelle and they use after market A arms with Delrin bushing which had passages for grease. Looked like a good system. If I wanted to go for a preformace suspension the delrin is what I would go for. I machine a lot of delrin and it is very tough stuff but I also know from experience that without grease it will squeek. Personally I would replace mine with OEM rubber bushing. I don't care to get any more road shock or noise.

PS Delrin is high dollar material relitive to other plastics.

I installed energy suspension polygraphite bushings more than a year ago (front and rear) and voila nary a squeak from the suspension. I'd use them again it was a simple install.
