(Aluminum) Solid Leaf Spring Eye Bushing.... bad idea for the street?

[wjaholic]

Anyone have any experience with these on the street. I have my rear end and springs out for some trunk repairs and noticed mine were heavily cracked and starting to "rot". The rest of my suspension is poly, these are the only ones I had not swapped out yet.

Any opinions?

I can press out my originals, take some dimensions, and make them up at work for the cost of the material. Once I have the dimensions hammered out I can post them (kind of like my steering box rebuild)... If anyone would be interested.

it will transmit a bit more noise to teh chassis but other then that why not

depending on how much you drive the car, they will probably wear out fast since there is no isolator between the two, and I second what CP said, you will definitely notice an increase in noise (probably will be able to hear the rear end gears and wheel bearings clearly) after going to a solid bushing. I had delrin bushings in another car I had and the rear end noise was very noticeable but that was my commuter car too, so on a weekend only type car it may not be that big of a deal.
