Sub-frame bushings

For you guys that have restored the old cars with sub-frames...Want to replace the sub-frame rubber bushings with polyurethane...on the 77 Pontiac..

Did some searching on the net and there is mixed reveiws...With the guys that have installed the polyurethane frame bushings,what do you think of them??

As for ride and handling and would you do it again?

The rest of my car has polyurethane bushings (sway bar,A-frame,etc)

I guess I will find out if mine will squeak.......

Yet I installed polyurentane on my dodge control arms, 4 years ago and they don't squeak...

Well decided to go with the OEM rubber instead of the poly...Read to many reveiws and they don't conclude with is better..

By time these rubber bushings fail,I will be in a old age home...
