Greaseable poly bushings

I'm rebuilding the front and rear suspensions of my GTA this winter (along with brake upgrades and headers). I'm using poly bushings in the rear, but haven't decided what to use up front. The possibility of the front control arms squeaking has me concerned. The rear poly bushings are greasable, so I'm not as worried about those. Does anyone make greasable poly front control arm bushings? I know there are sway bar bushings out there that are greasable, but I haven't seen any for the control arms.

This car is a daily driver except for the winter.

Well these aren't poly, but they are greaseable. Worth every penny in my opinion. I love mine.

I've been planning to use the Del-A-Lum bushings in my '79 T/A. I had considered them for my '89, but they are rather pricey. I was hoping for a cheaper alternative. How is the ride/vibration/harshness with the Del-A-Lum bushings?

I do experience more road noise with the DAL bushings in my car. Others say they didn't notice any difference, but I did.

The steering is extremely quick and responsive also. But I do have a 3 pt. STB and my billet strut mounts on the car with all new front steering components and factory wonder bar which I'm sure contributes to the tight feeling my steering has.

I know the DAL's are a lot more money. But considering the zero deflection they have, and virtually no binding when the suspension moves. This way the strut controls the dampening of the suspension, and not the binding of a rubber or ureathane bushing. So they are really worth the money in my opinion.
