My 75 Finally Gets The Attention It Deserves(This Could Take a While)

Does anyone have any thoughts on OEM style rubber bushings vs the newer polyurethane? I'll be ordering a kit to replace all the bushings in the front suspension this week and am kind of conflicted at the moment. I'm currently leaning towards OEM style rubber, but if there's a compelling reason to go with polyurethane I'd consider changing my mind.

While stuff is on the car, check the joints for play. With the (lack) of quality on a lot of replacement parts, it sems best to evaluate, then replace.
If you have to replace the uper control arm bushings. 'Problem solver' versions can be used to get a little more positive caster than the stock range. Really only worth the extra effort if you're the type of driver who wear's the outside tread of the front tires. LOL
Only place that I think you might want to consider poly is the front sway bar. IF you use poly bushings on the endlinks, get the thicker, heavier washers and tubes as well. If you use poly on the mount bushings, put a zerk fittings on the bracket so they can be regreased.
