[Bricklin] rubber vs poly.

If you are worried about how long they last, the rubber motor mounts on my cars have usually been good for 30-40 years.

Johns right, the poly bushings have a tendency to squeak/groan loudly at times.. I tried them on the front sway bar and found that cutting an antifreeze jug and wrapping the plastic around the bar before sliding the bushing on was the only way to permanently quiet it..?

One thing that I reccomend for any one replacing the motor mounts on the 74's is to drill a hole through the mount and install a 3/8 bolt. this will keep the mount from separating at the rubber while allowing the rubber to ablsorb the vibations.?
