I'm looking at changing out my frt/rr sway bar bushings. My SHO is a daily driver, with occasional exuberent usage, so I trying to descide what material would work best. Rubber, TPR or polyurethane, which would work best? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :salute:

I end up using the TPR just because they're closest to the cheapest shipped from Rockauto.

I found that the rear TPR bushings don't fit a 26mm rear bar well (well, maybe mine) but they worked great on a 25mm.

Rubber will work fine, if that is the easiest/cheapest route for you.

I just order a set of Energy Susp. set for the rear for. I think they are TPR and they arent here yet but TPR is going to be a rougher ride. Im dont mind it because im dumb high school student and would rather Because Racecar then have a okay ride. Rubber would be the way to go if you are DD'ing it and dont want back problems.

Energy Suspension are poly and are supposedly more prone to squeaking if you don't grease them. You won't notice much if any difference between any of the types of bushings available. FWIW, I have some brand of TPR on my car.

Or even go with MOOG's. They are black for the front at least they were for the 20.6 bushings. Blue for the rear 26.

Poly bushings - never again on my cars. I removed them and went back to rubber. The squeeks are not worth it, and greasing them is only a temprorary fix
