Default Poly U.C. arm bushings??

Does, or has anybody ever used poly upper control arm bushings? Is it a better choice than the stock rubber ones? If so, what are some good brands and the best way to install them? Thanks much guys!!

HELL NO!! Never use poly on a rig. Those damn things transmit every little vibe and don't flex worth a damn. OEM style rubber bushings are the only way to go. Advanced Auto gets about $7 for the UCA size and $9 for the LCA size (both are TRW with a lifetime repalcement warranty too).

Much thanks, Z-man!! I was thinking the same thing! I just wanted some outside input. Do you have any advice on the install, I've never done it?
