Urethane torque arm mount...

My torque arm bushing and trans mount are worn. I don't have a problem with using a urethane trans mount, but will using a urethane T-Arm bushing cause a bad ride from binding?

Nope. They're actually recommended, even for road race applications, and that's where binding suspensions can really cause problems . The benefits of it may not be "huge", but every little bit helps, right? And the poly mounts are relatively inexpensive .

I had the elastomer on my trail_links wear out. I went to a spherical mechanical joint trail_link (no elastomer). Have not had any failure with the trans mount. B. (97ss 383-D1 M6)

Thanks for the input. I have a poly trans mount on my '71 Nova and have no complaints. I just didn't know if the torque arm bushing would transmit any extra vibration to the car. I'll go ahead and get one.
