Prothane bushings are going to be stiffer and probably squeakier. Although, they should last longer. I'd personally get a replacement rubber bushing from Moog

I just replaced my bushings on my leafs about a month ago. went with energy suspension polyurethane bushings. so far I have not noticed any issues. ride the exact same as the rubber ones.

I used Energy Suspension black polys. Love em. No noise yet...6 months old. I noticed a huge stability increase with the poly. May have lost like an inch of flex but ride and control is so much better.

Hey OP, might have a few hits on here to resell those bushings since they won't work for you. FYI since you didn't want a refund I donated the money you paid me for them to this guys family. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

Thats a sad situation. I didnt see the need in asking for a refund since I didn't to my homework. I will be reselling these if any one is interested.
