Don't people have issues with aftermarket poly trailing arm bushes binding and not allowing normal suspension articulation and hence interesting handling issues?

I wouldn't bother filling the bush.

Filling those would make the ride stiff.
You really wouldnt want that on the rear, you wont some kinda flex.

Several members on here have reported issues with poly TA bushings. Many of these have reported much more stability during cornering after switching back to OEM/Mugen.

I just put HardRace bushings in my trailing arms, and I am very happy with the results. Stick to rubber--HardRace or Mugen or even OE. You'll be happier in the long run.
