Default Superpro rear upper control arm bushes - first hand experiences?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has the Superpro rear upper control arm bushings. Is the ride harsher than before, with the rubber bushings?

That’s a product of the polyurethane bushes, they are stiffer and transmit more noise. But give better handling and last longer.

Not all polyurethane bushings are created equal, some are softer than others, that's why I asked for first hand experiences

Rubber will always be softer and quieter than poly.

If a bit of noise concerns you, just go oem equivalent rubber.

hi
Have them on WJ don't remember how they were before only drove it home.
But they seem to fix the problem that the standard rubber ones have. Just use them and fit a new ball joint, and if you have a lift of sorts almost a necessary unless you use spacer on top of diff.

Just thinking, the poly ones I fitted to my rear sway bar came with specific brackets which have grease nipples installed. I greased them up and they seem pretty quiet.
