Poly or Rubber in LCA?
I've seen the discussion before, but haven't seen any conclusive evidence one way or the other so I'm bringing it back up.
I just got my PST Poly Super Front End Kit and am getting ready to put it in. I've heard about problems that some have had with poly bushings in the LCA. I am prepared to go either way that seems to be best. The advantage that I have here is that PST provides new rubber LCA bushings in the Super kit so that you'll have new shells and sleeves to use with their Poly bushing instead of having to rip them out of the old bushings. Here are my options: 1) Use the new rubber bushings in the LCA 2) Tear apart the new rubber bushings to get the sleeves and shells and put Poly in the LCA 3) Save new rubber bushings and tear apart old bushings for sleeves and shells. If problems with Poly, then insert new saved rubber bushings. Any experience with the Poly bushings in the LCA are greatly appreciated. |

I have used the poly's in the past but would be hesitant to use them again. They squeeked like crazy. I guess it would not be a problem if you drilled and tapped the arms with grease fittings though.

I used a total PST kit and LOVE it. NO SQUEAKS at all. The poly bushings squeak, the polygraphite from PST does not squeak.
I dont know what an LCA is, but, my mech. installed it with no problems. |

One word of caution. The cam bolts that adjust the a-arms in my kit were pretty soft. We stripped one during installation and the alignment shop stripped another. Thank God NAPA has them in stock, there's comes with a longer nut which grabs about twice as much thread!

I installed a complete PolyGraphite Kit in the Cuda from Energy Suspension this spring and I have no squeeks at all. I will say that the car handles better than ever and when I get another Cuda for my wife next year, I will install a poly kit first thing.
