It's 14 years since I replaced polyurethane bushes with delrin and still vividly remember how profound the improvement was. I did the front first & no doubt about improved handling & steering. I think a magor part of the huge ride improvement is the delrin in the rears [leafs].
I got a big improvement in handling when I replaced the badly worn rubber bushes with polyurethane but always wondered how much was to do due to badly worn rubber.
