front poly bushings
I'm considering replacing the bushings on my front suspension with poly bushings. Which points should I replace:
Upper and lower A arm bushings (I already have poly in the lowers thanks to the Z51 option)
Rack and pinion bushings
Upper shock bushings

Re: front poly bushings (silver & red CE)
I just recently finished my suspension rebuild. Among other things, I replaced
upper/lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings and sway bar end links with polyurethane.

Re: front poly bushings (silver & red CE)
Eric, your car may have slightly higher durometer rubber bushings in the lowers from the factory, but not poly. The areas mentioned in your post are good ones to change over. If you ever get ambitious, replace the diff carrier bushing with poly. It *will* tighten up the whole car. You will immediately notice improved steering response.
