Ouch, you may want to do a search before you continue with that. Poly bushings bind, causing bad ride and handling, but worst of all they can break parts because of the extreme bind. Someone did a build in the suspension section with poly bushings and their front control arm broke because of the bushings binding when they are supposed to be flexing, allowing for articulation.

All done. That was not easy, Ive never messed with bushings before,
so it was a bit of a learning experience, but they are all done, got a few
other little projects done to.

Im not worried about it, Ive seen the threads, I think there were other
factors involved in that control arm breaking, im not going to make
decisions over speculation...

No speculation, raw facts.

Just a nicer version of convoluted tubing... I dont like the look of the convoulted stuff, so my first revision (2 years ago) was to remove all of the convoluted tubing and wrap the entire harness in electrical tape, but I didnt like the look of that, it didnt allow it to lay right...
