Poly GRAPHITE? or polyurethane?
DEFINATELY not urethane!!!! they will squeek you to death in a few months.
No the lower bushing sleves do not usually have teeth on them.
Just remember If you are using RUBBER DO NOT TIGHTEN bushing bolts down until car is sitting full weight on them (yes PITA) as the rubber is bonded to BOTH the inner sleeve and the outer shell causing a torsional BIND if tightened BEFORE being loaded into its proper rotational location

I have all urethane bushings in my lower control arms. Plenty of grease when installed, no squeaks after about 2 years.
