Disappointments experienced with oem, Bilstein supplied and poly bushings lead me to the alternative of precision designed/built spherical delrin pin top bushings.

I have found the performance with my spherical delrin pin top bushings to be stellar. They provide immediate free articulation, all without sluggish drag and have been noise free. Performance response from them was immediately noticeable from the get go. After close to 10K miles, they shown no discernible wear as indicated.

Are these Delrin bushings very expensive and where do you get them?

They did cost more than the four shocks and they were made by Pfadt.
