Mark a lot of the street rod crowd use them, a lot less deflection, better handling but your right they do tend to squeak on occasion, most all of them install zirk fittings in them to alleviate the problem and use moly lube no more complaints..

My prooblem is which one is better suited, poly graphite or urethane bushings...? any advice is welcome as I`m thinking of doing the same.
