Hi Bruce,

I agree with you 100%. Same with all the "bolted" bushings. Poly turns them all into unsprung hinges. But you can't argue with all the praise from the hobby crowd*, can you. It may be the lack of that bit of torsion spring isn't noticed. I wonder if they get noisy after a while.

Edit: I'm not looking to be labeled a "purist" -- I'm a firmly entrenched member of the hobby crowd and may well try poly bushings at some point. Anything has to be a vast improvement over a torn and broken rubber original.
