UCA Bushings

**bighoss88lx** · 09-05-2003, 11:36 AM

What type/brand UCA bushings are everyone using in the axle mount and the chassis mount? I was going to box in a set of factory UCA's but I wanted to see what is the best for the street. I already know polyurethane bushings bind too much for cornering so what are the other options that I have.

Unless you plan on doing AutoX, poly will be fine. Rubber will work too but won't be as durable.

I have heard poly bushings in the rear cause binding and driveability problems like snap oversteer.

Maybe in extreme cases, but all you'll notice is a little more road noise. If you want the most rigid solution, just get rod ends if they're available.

I also thought about the rod ends too. I may just go with poly or they have some rubber bushings that are about as twice as stiff as the originals.
