I Hate Wheelhop
So I find myself on the fence,
If you were given a choice between using a Urethane bushing and an Aluminum Bushing in the Front Control Arm Forward mounting location which would you choose if your main concern is durability and longevity over all else? NVH is not a concern.
The car is driven on the street often and the condition of many streets I find myself on would be considered very shitty so I'm looking to use the best bushing that offers the least amount of babysitting and maintenance.
Back story...I picked up a set of Boss 302S Front Arms with the Boss 302S Bushing Kit and as an bonus also received a Prothane Urethane Kit which could be used in the mounting location mentioned previously instead of the Aluminium one. I will def be using the Durlin Bushings in place of the Soda Can setup that came from the factory.
I can't say for sure how much abuse this connection point see's on a daily basis that would warrant the use of one bushing over the other since they both seem pretty stiff but the Aluminium bushing that came with the kit does look to have more parts/moving parts that the "dumb" urethane bushing doesn't have. I'm currently leaning towards using the Urethane setup because others here seem pretty happy with them but I'm not married to either option at the moment.
Please post up your thoughts and experiences ...Thanks
