I almost pulled the trigger on those but decided to go with the Global West A arms instead. I really couldn't get much of an opinion or find any reviews on those.

Default rubber vs poly, solid upper Control arm bushings

So I am looking to replace the upper control arms and we all have seen what happens to rubber over time but how about poly and solid grease able bushings? Any one have long time exp with solid bushings?

I like the Savitske upper control arms, although the greasable option is somewhat moot, as once installed, it is difficult to get at the grease fittings. Does get rid of the shims however, which is nice.

Wow! A lot of looks but no comments. I guess they haven't sold a lot of these.

What you see is what you get so I passed. Went with VBP instead as they come with the cross bar and bushings.

I am also looking at vbp as well as global West which offers the re engineered control arms with ball joints, shafts and their del alum solid bushings.
