Default Polyurethane Bushings

Who uses polyurethane bushings and do you notice any difference than
stock.
Also, where are you buying them from? Looking for great price.

I've done full poly bushings on a car before and noticed a really big difference in how tight the whole thing felt in general.

They where a major pain to install as I had to burn a bunch of the old rubber ones out (don't know if this'll be the case on a mustang) but worth it imop. I also notice a bit of noise out of them, esspecialy when its cold out. but again, worth it to me.

Shop around. I saw that latemodel restoration had a kit that even included motor mounts for around $200. seems like a good deal.

On my neighbors 1989 5.0 we installed some of those and yes it does make a difference. I wouldn't say a HUGE difference like a new car or anything, but it's definitely a noticeable change!!! For the better that is!!!!!!

i've changed to poly on every bushing on my car.the biggest pain was the lower control arm bushings on the front. i had to press them in. also dont use poly on the rear uppers they bind too much. i put polys on the rear uppers then switched back to rubber from ford racing. yes it made a big difference. there is a lot of loss in compressing the rubber bushings. more vibration but it's well worth it.
