Default Questions about bushings.

I need to replace my bushings, and was wondering the pros and cons of urethane over stock. I heard urethane will wear out fast on the street??? Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure of the relative wear rates but poly urathane will improve cornering without effecting ride quality.

I've had them on my IROC sway bars for 5yrs and they still feel solid.

hmmm.....
if I'm to believe the sales pitch and literature on the box, they are supposed to last like waaaaayyy longer than stock. I did my complete car with Energy Suspension master kit and the difference is night and day. I love it. Combined with my Z51 susp, car is solid/tight, handles reeeeeeaaallllll nice now. It was a tedious job, but sooooo worth it.
