What sub frame to body bushing kits have you used and been satisfied with...or not much cared for? I am interested in as close to factory as possible in rubber....not urethane. Thanks!

Dr, Thanks for the link.
Is this a set you have used and are satisfied with also?

No, I went with the urethane bushings. Wanted more rigidity as my Bird is a vert.

OK, mine is also. How do you like the urethane? Mine is just a cruiser, I am not looking to improve handling but would consider urethane if ti is an "upgrade over the stock rubber in terms of ride quality.

Never drove mine with the rubber bushings as they were rotted long before I got my license. Night and day though, and the ride is not that harsh. The sub-frame used to shift under hard acceleration before the new bushing install.

The rubber bushings today are not like the rubber bushings of 25 years ago. This goes for control arm bushings to and most other rubber parts. They just don't last anymore.

I use only urethane. Both body and control arm bushings. They last forever, keep everything tight, and I have never felt them to be 'harsh'. Plus, that is a job you only want to do once. Might as well use parts that last.
