Russell,
If your car is jumpy now, stay away from urethane bushings, it will out jump you
kangaroos down there with urethane.
I know, I did it and switched back to rubber.
Urethane does not give so the car just hops and jumps.
Rubber gives a bit to cushin the ride. (not that it will ever be a Mercedes)
Good luck
