I was wondering which polyurethane body bushings should I get, Energy suspension or Prothane body bushings? I would like the opions on either ones if any of you guys have used them. If any of these bushings squeak I would like to know, and I don't where I read this but could one or the other come with sirts (sp?) to grease them?

Thanks ahead of time,
Marco.

Shiiiip, wish I knew about Prothane, looks like they're half the price of the energy kit. Someone better speak up and say that brand is garbage! :p

Anyways I have a box of Energy bushings waiting to install this spring. I've heard lots of people who use this kit. Haven't heard about that other brand before.

Edit- Nevermind, must be getting tired. For some reason I thought the energy kit cost me $220. It was only $120. So there isn't much price difference. I think I'll go to bed...
 
Hi,
When it's half the price, think China. I've seen some real crap that was made in the USA, but you can almost bet on it, when the Chinese are involved. This will change, with time,but we don't have so much of that, anymore.Ask your supplier what their source is. Moog is my favorite,always top of the line stuff. I am not sure if they make body mount bushings anymore,but you can bet they were a supplier of the originals. Good luck with your descision.
