Default Solid control arms ?s

To those of you who have solid rear control arm - is the ride different from control arms with bushings? Is the ride too harsh? Thanks.

Default RE: Solid control arms ?s

what do you mean? are you talking about zero deflection bushings compared to poly urathane?

Yes there is a difference with the different bushing materials used.

Delrin
Poly-urethane
Junk they use from the factory
And Shperical

All have different deflection/reboud and elasticity coefficients that determine ride quality and handling capabilities.
