Default Global West "Del-a-lum control arm bushings

Curious if any of you have used Global West's "Del-a-lum greasable control arm bushings? If so, how was the ride, before and after? Thinking of trying these on my '74 Oldsmobile Cutlass, (I know, not a Pontiac, but I love the car as a daily driver). If they work well, I may also get a set for my '66 Tempest Custom wagon. Theoretically, they should work well, because they don't keep the suspension in a bind, like the rubber or poly bushings do.

Awesome product with even better customer service. Prior to installing the spring, I could articulate my suspension with my little finger.

Thumbs up

Looks nice. Thanks for the feedback. They look like good, quality parts, just looking for some real world experience before pulling the trigger.

Worth it. Been running them for a few years. A great product.

Glad to hear positive feedback. I've got the LeMans down for a complete rebuild and opted for Del a Lums instead of the polygraphites I was running prior. I had to pop them out of the A arms for powdercoat anyway, so figured Id try something new. They look and feel like real nice products.
