[6pack] Front suspension bushes advice

[Stan Foster]

Bruce, I used the TRF poly magic kit probably 20 years ago and it has held up well. I assembled with some lube to discourage any squeaking.
If the surfaces of the fulcrum pins are pitted I would replace them, they are inexpensive.

I did poly front and rear and did not notice any significant difference in the ride. It was at a time when the rubber equivalents were deteriorating faster than people even had a chance to install them.

After experiencing wonky steering when backing up, looks like I see a collapsed bushing on lower wishbone.    Since the spring has to come out to get wishbone out and bushes are sold in sets, I guess I could do upper and lower wishbone bushes on both sides.   Presume poly bushes are way to go?  Even poly doesnt last forever
Should I go for a pricier and namebrand  bush such as Prothane?
In 25 years Ive never replaced the fulcrum pins.  Something I should do or look into?
Stiffer front and back TRF springs and front spax adjustables 10 or 15 years ago
Any othet advice?
Thank you  Bruce Simms, mildly upgraded 73
