That is about as close to zero in 'give' that you can get short of using brass or steel. Typically urathane is used for performance purposes. It's harder but usually not too harsh unless the pavement is bad. You'll have to be specific where the nylon bushings were used. If they were used for things that turn it's not that big of deal, if they were used for control arms and such then that's another big source of your problem. |

He might be calling the Urethane, Nylon, does anyone even make real Nylon for bushings? Seems like it might be too brittle for that application, just a guess. |
