MOOG strut rod bushing improver kit

I was looking at MOOG suspension parts and noticed they offer a strut rod bushing improver kit part number K7026 for the Challenger. It's a fair amount more (like almost triple) than the normal replacement strut rod bushing and says they are made of a material other than rubber but do not squeak like the poly bushings. Anyone know what the difference is and why the cost difference?

I always run the cheap poly bushings on those, since they don't twist they can't squeak.

Here's a picture of one bushing pair (one side) for that part number....
I dont have a pic of the stock one......but these appear to be somewhat thicker (total)
I ended up going to the CAP Auto strut bar instead of these...no bushings at all and adjustable.....(my bars were bent)

If you are after the stock look, use the regular style. The improved style is what shadango has pictured and when installed, the washers look like they are on backwards. I always use the "improved" design.
