After having Poly bushings in my A-arms for 15 years, I have some opinions that you might find helpful if you are considering swapping from stock rubber to polyurethane.

Short answer:
*Use them in your A-arms for sure if you have a lot more power than stock.
*Upgrade to poly if you want every ounce of handling our of your ride .
*Skip them if squeaks here and there make you want to sell your vehicle.
*Skip them if you just cruise and/or extra maintenance is a deal killer.

Long answer:

Good information, thanks for sharing. I considered poly for my Tahoe to resist the torque from large tires but ultimately decided I didn’t want an increase in NVH.

Great work on the video production, too.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - I appreciate it and agree - I probably wont install any poly on my 08 Tahoe!

Cheers!
