        Richard:

        Unless the bushings are greasable, they will squeak. You may
take this as an article of faith.
        I have found on other cars that Urethane is unwarranted
for street. A better solution is adding a rear sway bar
for a daily driver, and using rubber bushings on the rear bar.
        Flatter cornering, neutral handling, no squeaking,
and minimal impact on ride quality.

        Just my $0.000002 worth.

        Vance

  If I switch to the poly bushes Moss sells, what are the chances of these
squeaking? I've got new rubber ones in place right now, but if I do upgrade
and lower the suspension I'm thinking it might be good to upgrade (?) the
trailing arm bushes.
   What are my choices out there, nylatron is out of the question, to stiff
and hard. I would like to find a good replacement bush which is in two
pieces
so I won't have to push it through like the stock rubber ones.
  Any good ideas out there?
