If you do decide to install the 'POLY' bushings ask the vendor if the Black
ones contain graphite since the red ones will squeak for sure once
any moisture get in there
I don't know any more than this since I have always used the soft VW ones
over the years without any problems.
You may want to post this also in the off-road forum.

I used those ones too, no squeaks at all. Make sure you coat the bushing with powder before you install them. The powder acts like lube, stops the squeaking and doesn't eat the rubber. Have fun, replacing them is a good 8hr job.

Real Talc Powder please! Check the ingredients. Talc and fragrance are acceptable. Corn starch is a big fat NO.
