Hi Steve,
Well Done!
Fabricated a tool too!!!!
Hopefully this indeed will be the last time!
(You realize that as long as you keep the tool you made you won't need to use it again!)
Regards,
Alan

I used MOOG on the front end of my 71 - 2 years ago, did a lot of driving and they look great - they are not 100% OE.
My friends 70 was done 5 years ago with lots of miles and are still great.
NOS rubber as stated above may be the issue.. due to age.

My front poly a-arm bushings have lasted over 10 years and 20k miles. So as others have said, good there.
Poly bushing are a bad idea on stock rear strut rods (bind and self destruction) or both ends of aftermarket ones (loosen up adjusters and/or bind). Better off with bushing on one end and spherical bearing on other end of each there or stick with stock style and rubber.
