poly bushings?

With poly bushings on the panhard and hte LCA's am I going to get alot of noise? if they are greasable will that help?

or should I go rubber on the car side of the LCAs?

I went rubber/poly on the LCAs too. No noticeable increase in noise.

I went with steel rod ends. No noticable increase in road noise, until I put 2,000 miles on them. Then they wore out and began banging like a the bolts were about to break off!

Stick to poly bushings, and buy a grease gun loaded with silicone grease. I'll be switching away from rod ends and go to greasable poly bushings, like the rest of the folks on this thread. I've had polygraphite bushings installed on the front since 1998 and they are still quiet. Of course, I cannot hear them over the din from the back of the car
