Default Anyone tried these?

Anyone Used these? Have any pros or cons? Know of any better ones? Looking to replaces all the bushings due to the car sitting for 18 years (in a garage under a cover). I have a 1999 Trans Am 30th Anniversary.

I looked into this myself, and posted about this not long ago. I would exercise a bit of caution and do some more research after reading this:

Yup. It’s because certain places the bushing needs to twist - but poly bushings heavily resist that. That’s why those places need spherical bearings (heim joints). Problem with heim joints is they’re too exposed to the elements and wear out very quick on daily drivers.

Just so everyone knows I got a warning for asking you guys about these bushings? Because I didn’t type out the name and where I got them I just posted a link to what they were (to save a extreme amount of time typing all of what came with it) and asked if you guys had used them. Didn’t try to get you guys to buy them, hell I don’t even own them. But I guess your not aloud to post asking people about certain products. I asked about specific tires. Size, brand, where I was getting them and cost in a post and I guess because someone liked those tires that was ok. Extremely confused on what you can do on here I guess? So don’t link a website, just type it all out and then it’s ok?

You linked to a non-sponsor site, apparently.

Poly is only good for the motor mounts and sways. They can be okay in the front upper control arms and the forward position of the front lower control arm, but can elongate over time. Shouldn't use them in the rear lca, or the rear position of the front lca.
