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.

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.
