Its come time for me to change my radius arm bushings and I know there are a few options...OEM, poly, etc. What is everyones experience with the different kinds? Like how long have they lasted, or are the poly noisy, would you try different ones next time?? Things like that.

Thanks!

Edit- almost forgot, this is on a '96 4x4 XC

 

poly will last a lot longer that oem, which are rubber. and as hard as it is to get to them, at least on my truck, i would definately go with poly.

 

on the subject of RA bushings, how hard is it to replace these things? seems like a pain

 

It's not a fun job. If your truck has a rust/corrosion problem, soak all the fasteners ahead of time with penitrating oil. A long, heavy lever/prybar will come in handy.
AL.

 

Do a search...there are a bunch of threads on the install....

So which did you use on your truck? If you used the poly ones, where did you get them, and do they squeak??

 

Anybody?? With all the people that have done this, I would think there would be more than one opinion....

 

I'd go poly as well. I just replaced my stock ones with poly when I installed a suspension lift.
