Poly F/E parts vs Stock
« on: March 19, 2007 - 06:11:24 AM »
Okay ,can anyone them me if buying the Poly Front end parts are really worth the extar $$ versus the factory rubber stuff?  Does it make the car handle that much better?  Would you pay one penny more for a car with a poly rebuild versus stock?  Reason I ask it that way is my  K-Frame is currently out of my R/T I am building (for resale), and while it is out I am going to "rebuild" the front end as well as detail it up nicely...

Personally  would pay more for the Poly , they will out last Rubber & the car will be tighter with poly over rubber , the difference is marginal though , the cars will not generally be driven daily or as hard as they were originally & the rubber will last for years

I have also heard that poly bushings are noisy, is that true?

they can be , But if they are properly greased with the extremely thick silicone grease as they are installed I have had no problems

So it sounds like a good investment to spring for the more expense stuff froma ROI stand point as well as performance.  Thanks, I guess I'll spring for the good stuff
