Im replacing the front end and rear end bushings. I would like to go polyurithane or polygraphite instead of the stock rubber. I heard polyurithane bushings squeek? Any info you might know would be greatly appreciated.

This seems to be a common question. From what I understand the polygraphite bushing are just polyurethane bushings with graphite impregnated to aid in lubrication. I don't know if it really makes a difference. If it were me, I'd get the polygraphite just to be safe. Also use a good waterproof grease to lubricate them to prevent squeeks.

Good luck.

ben70 basically sumed it up well with the differences between the two. I used a kit from PST using there polygraphite bushings front and rear on my 72, this was done in October of 2003 and I have yet to hear a squeak but with my race magnum bullets it makes it hard to even if they did. Just keep in mind that the polygraphite bushings will give you a firmer ride than the stock rubber bushings.
