I still use polys on my Ram Air Resto rear control arms but with Currie Johnny Joints on the other side of the arm. The Johnny Joint lets the rear end travel through its natural arc. The difference in handling and ride is so fantastic compared to the all poly set up................


in my experience, and i've been installing polygraphite bushings for years, if you grease them wll with a quality silicone grease you won't have any problems. i've personally run them in cars and abused 4x4 trucks with no issues whatsoever.

i've installed them in serveral customer cars also with no issues and tons of miles.
