just wondering if anyone has a link to polygraphite bushings. I am looking to buy some and wanted some recommendations on which ones people have had good experience with. do these kits usually come with tie rod ends and ball joints, or do they sell them seperate...thanks for the help! graemlins/thumbsup.gif graemlins/beers.gif

My understanding is P-S-T sells Energy Suspension bushing at a higher price than you can by them from other sources.

I have heard that if you use polygraphite bushings on your upper rear arms that it will cause binding and restrict the vertical movement of the rear. Any opinions on this?

There are several post here where guys have had problems with uppers on the rearend causing binding traction problems due to this.
Most are running rubber

I recently put P.S.T. POLYGRAPHITE bushings in my entire rear suspension. It launches very hard w/o ANY wheelhop and does not bind !!! IMHO the binding occurs if you use plain polyurethane instead of polygraphite. I don't think energy is polygraphite ( but i could be wrong ) PST is definately polygraphite , and are the way to go IMHO graemlins/thumbsup.gif

somebody told me also that if you use polygraphite bushings in the rear it will help stop wheel hop...then I hear to use just rubber bushings in the back so I was kind of confused. Think I'll just go with the polygraphites all the way around cause I've heard more good things than bad about them. graemlins/thumbsup.gif Thanks for the input and the links. graemlins/beers.gif

65 Convert - I think you're right. The problem that I heard of WAS with polyuerethane bushings - not polygraphite. Thanks for the info, Kirk
