I replaced my whole 68 suspension last spring. I wanted the Poly so I only had to do this once and almost got scared away by the squeak stories. Finally decided on the Polygraphite stuff. So far not a squeak out of it! |My suggestion is get the Polygraphite! I think I got them frpm VBP but I bought so much stuff I would have to check to be sure. If Ecklers doesn't have the Polygraphite, find someone that does.

I just finished inatalling Poly bushings in a my '68 this week. I don't care about the sqeaks, not that I will hear them w/ the Big Block and side pipes anyway. :D

No trouble, easy install.

:cheers:

I had Van Steel install their poly kit on my car 2 weeks ago. Before the installation the car was sqeaking like crazy. Now, quiet as a mouse. I'm VERY happy with the poly's! :hurray:

I installed them about 6 months ago, and I've never had any squeaks with them. I got mine at Kragens because they were cheaper than getting them through Ecklers and I was able to get them in red instead of black.
