there is no play in a end link how can it make noise?

doubt you want spherical bearing on a street car. You can never run that hard on the street in any case.

VBP poly bushing are nice.

harder sway bar bushings will will reduce inital body roll but wont cure the high frequenct oscilations in the rear suspension that cause wheel hop

The last time I installed polys was in 82.... A arms and sway bars on the new Z-28. They really did tighten everything up, but were so noisy they just about drove me nuts! I had the arms out several times, but never did get them to stop barking completely. Is this still a problem or have they gone to a different composition poly or something?
