Are poly bushings worth it?
For anyone looking to upgrade their suspension, poly bushings are a great choice.

Since they’re not as good at dampening, passengers are also subjected to a lot more noise and vibration.
Do Energy suspension bushings squeak?
Ride Quality: Because rubber is softer than polyurethane, it’s much better at warding off road noise and vibrations. This means that rubber bushings make for a much smoother ride. Since rubber bushings come chemically-bonded with their shells, there’s no opportunity for movement. This means they’ll never squeak.
Is polyurethane stronger than rubber?
