Re: What A arm bushings?
Will be installing Founders Performance LCA with 3 piece poly bushings,LCA relocaton brackets,adjustable panhard bar with poly ends for the rear. Greaseable poly swaybar bushings and poly swaybar ends front and back so far. Thinking about getting Founders Performance strut mounts for the front. Just updating the cars suspension. Going to use the car on weekends and go to local runs and shows..

Re: What A arm bushings?
I had a bad experience with Spohn A arms, so I took my stock ones, and put in Global West Del a Lum A Arm bushings... they work great and no complaints....

I also got the Founders 3 Way Poly LCA's and Panhard bar, nice pieces, great performance and price!

Re: What A arm bushings?
If you use poly bushings be aware there is a right and wrong way to install them.

The right way would be into the trashcan.

Re: What A arm bushings?
If GM has 1LE high-durometer rubber, those.
If not, see if Moog lists hi-dur rubber (they did years back for some GM apps; no idea if that's current.)
I like the GW Del-A-Lum otherwise.

Global West Del-A-Lum bushings are hands down the best.

I like the Energy Suspension poly bushings. Replaced all suspension bushings and mounts with these units.

Moog always sounds good for replacement parts.
