<div class="yiv3958421183MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">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.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3958421183MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">If the surfaces of the fulcrum pins are pitted I would replace them, they are inexpensive.</span></div>

<div class="yiv3958421183MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">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.</span></div>
