Should I go with rubber or urithane rear torsion bushings in my 63. What are the pros and cons to them Im rebulding the pan on my car and some advice on these bushings would be helpful.
Thanks, Roy

Seems to me urithane squeaks more than rubber in general? IMO

true that. urethane will squuek some times, but will also be alot stiffer and firm. Its all about comprimise......

Enough said.

Unless you plan on dragging the door handles on the ground, rubber is FAR supirior. Urethane are noisey as hell, rough as a tax audit and last as long as your vacation away from the wife.

Im just going to try go fast real quick in a straight line. The rubber bushings have made it 42 years. I dont want to hear any squeaks thats just me. But thank you very much for your thoughts on this. I was trying to figure out the pros and cons to each of them but I am always willing to listen to another opnion. Has any one had any bad experinces with rubber?

I never had a Girl squeak when using a rubber, But I'm sure some lube would help? :wink:
