...sorry everyone... I stand corrected.
you have it right. Yes it's the 'prothane' bushing you DO want
some will say stick with stock...
but I have to say I like my red polyurathane bushings
...follow the directions and grease them the way they tell you to.
If they are offering a complet kit, go for it. It's worth it.

Subject: RE: "Prothane" Poly Bushings
Paul:
The "Prothane" bushings are a polyurethane bush, not a Nitrile or
Delrin. I just checked the Midget lower A-arm ones, they are pretty soft.
I can squeeze the small end almost shut between finger and thumb, and I am
no Goliath. "Prothane" is just the manufacturers name for the product
range.
Michael:
The lower A arms take 2 kits, 4 bushings per kit. The catalog is
confusing and does not give quantity required, but only quantity in the kit.
Apologies. There are notes in the computer, so the salesperson, or
distributer would catch the mistake.
Kelvin.
