Anyone using prothane Front LCA Bushings?
I've got a bad rear bushing on my Passenger LCA and was considering going with the prothane bushings. Has anybody tried these? What was your experience (install, etc.)? Does it ride like crap now?

I went with the CHE's they were a little cheaper and made a great difference in my wheel hop. They use a poly/delrin bushing, the delrin being a self lubricating plastic. I have only had them on for 3 months on a daily driver with 21 passes at the track and have nothing but great things to say about them.

You are correct, however I did run across the instructions for installing Energy suspensions' version of urethane bushings. After reading through that I believe I will stay with the OEM part. Looks like ford designed the Front LCA to be replaced as a unit. The install involved a hacksaw and a torch and says to make sure you don't catch the LCA on fire. 
That pretty much sealed the deal for me.
If anyone has anything to add please feel free, I just think OEM is gonna be the way to go.
