Almost every 700 and 900 owner knows the weak spot of the front end is those radius rod bushings that wear out too quickly. 1-2 years average driving was enough to warrant replacement of the black bushings on most cars.

Poly bushings were supposedly the latest and greatest answer. The most popular seem to be blue ones from IPD and red from some other suppliers.

Now that they have been on-the-road for 2-3 years...how have they been holding up? Are any wearing out yet or are they a "forever" fix? Horror stories?
