Title: Swaybar Bushings
Post by: fixierider84 on January 05, 2011, 08:16:28 PM

Well, its getting time to replace those rear swaybar bushings and end-links.  My question to y'all is this:  Anyone out there running those nifty polyurethane bushings in the rear...are they worth the additional moolah, and is there a noticeable difference in the handling characteristics with the polys?  Any brands better over others?  Thanks for the imput!

I've heard that they're harsher, but much longer lasting.  I can vouch that urethane closed-cell memory foam and poly furniture finish are both outstanding.;)
