To me the biggest benefit is that instead of the bushing being clamped in place and relying on the rubber to twist and contort as the arm moves up and down, the poly bushings are allowed to move freely and smoothly.

I'm in the limbo right now too. I ordered the whitelines but people have said it's a harsher ride on the road. It's a daily driver so I thought OEM would be better for that. Also a lot of people have said that they noticed a lot more noise. So is your comment in favor of the poly?

I am literally in the process of trying to make this decision. The whitelines came the other day but I might just order a whole new set of control arms. What finally tipped you with going the new control arms? I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Can you go a little more in depth on your reasoning?

FWIW, ran whiteline bushings for years on a couple other cars of mine and have had very good experience. I couldn't say for the T4R specifically what is better, but no concerns on whiteline quality.

Rust haha. Probably wouldn’t affect you. I was trying to remove the stock bumpstops from my old control arms and no matter what I did they wouldn’t budge so I said F it I’m buying new ones

All of my bushings are energy suspension poly and they've performed great for ~25k mi so far. I can't speak to their longevity since the factory ones will last 20+ years, but my experience has been positive so far. But if mtbtim recommends OEM, so thats probably a good way to go.

I'm actually running Whiteline Poly LCA Bushings on 98 3rd Gen. I think they're a good way to go. But, you can't go wrong with OEM either. I just think poly bushings are an affordable option to OEM and we'll just have to wait and see what there longevity is.

Gonna poke the bear here and see what the current consensus is. I've used whitelines for everything so far and have no complaints, but it seems LCA bushings are hit and miss with them and I'm hesitant to get some. Could it be because poly bushings should be regreased periodically and the LCAs are lacking zerk fittings to make that possible?
