Thanks!

These are the ones my company makes, they're a bit of a job to install, but worth it in my opinion. Just lube them up liberally when installing and you'll never have squeaks. The free floating, firmer polyurethane bushings maintain alignment far better than the bonded rubber OE bushings that twist and tear. Rubber deflects, arms can move around, polyurethane is stiff and keeps everything straight.

If you're not getting polyurethane, or at least OEM quality rubber, forget about it! Most aftermarket bushings use cheap quality rubber that won't last.
PS, got your PM, working up a reply!
