I"m replacing some of the suspension bushings in my MGC GT and am considering polyurethane bushings. My general reading on the subject shows some recommend their use for a road car, others do not. Anyone have experience with poly bushings on their cars, good or bad?

I use them on my MGs...I like the feel that they provide....not as "mushy".

Michael-
I can recommend polyurethane bushings, particularly when compared with the stock rubber bushings. Over the years I have found that the stock rubber bushings are nearly worn out after only 3 or 4 thousand miles, they're just not up to the task. The polyurethane bushings are a considerable improvement in every category. Just follow the instructions that come with the kits, lube them well and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
