I was planning on replacing some bushings when I install my anti-roll bar and was wondering what peoples opinions were on replacement urethane bushings. I'd be replacing the front tie rod end bushings (tie rods ends are shot), LCA bushings, and probably the sway bar bushings. Now my car is a daily driver, what are the pros and cons of replacing them with urethane vs. regular rubber bushings? Are the trade-offs worth it?

 

I'd personally stick with OEM. The squeaking alone would be reason enough for me to not use poly bushings, especially since you say it's a daily driver.

 

The poly bushings will squeak if not heavily lubed when first installed. Keep them greased with silicone grease and they are reasonable even on a dialy driver.

 

A few people have told me that using teflon tape instead of greesing prevents squeeking and doesn't require the occational re-greasing.

Anyone tried this?
