Time to replace the front bushings. Thoughts rubber or poly

[Jeff Sr]

I completely renewed my front suspension this spring(71’ Road Runner) and used parts from Rock Auto. I went all stock with Moog parts. One thing I should’ve done would be to use offset upper control arm bushings. The alignment guy couldn’t get enough camber. He got close enough for cruising but offsets would have allowed him to get it perfect.

Im doing mine now...I used QA1 upper control arms with the bushing they give you, the lowers are Pro Forge and they seem ok , as of now I just need to pick a shock. I had all poly bushings and the uppers squeaked after a few years and the lowers lasted 10 or so years before they gave up. the old build was in the early 90s . also welded plates on the bottom of the lca"s

If you can swing it Bilstein, my car is stock rebuild, with a steer and gear stage 2 box (firm feel had too much of wait time) and those shocks, it can handle pretty good IMO.
