Rubber or poly?

[86custom]

Howdy, I was known as XJDUMMY from before, and tried to get on here but I havent been on for a while. Also we sold the XJ anyway, so I'm now 86custom. :cheers:

 

Any way :roll:

 

My sway bar bushing broke yesterday, luckily I had a spare stock rubber one. Should I replace all of my rubber bushings to polyeurathane?

What or who makes the best kit for it? :wrench:

1986 Comanche long bed

2.5, 5 speed, stock heigth (for now)

thanks

I prefer rubber all around EXCEPT sway bar bushings and track bar bushings.

 

Rubber is more flexible, theoretically less vibration transferred from road to person. Poly is easier to install, usually, and will hold tighter without too much movement/flex.

:agree: ^^ The only poly bushings I have are on the sway bar end links.

 

 

Charlie, your piston avatar is mesmerizing. Obviously a 60* V6 piston though. :yes:

It was the only moving piston I could find.

Um sorry for the stupid question, What are track bar bushings? :???:

it's the bushing in the track bar (on the axle end). :thumbsup:
