Polyurethane bad??

[Jon Pike <jhpike@domain.elided>]

Hello all..

Recently I was trolling the Web for polyurethane bushing info.. and 
stumbled across a page where a lot of downsides to these bushings were 
listed.

I'd never heard anything bad about polyurethane before, besides the 
older, harder ones could be too harsh or transfer too much vibration for 
normal road driving..

I'd like to hear from people out there who have had poly bushings, 
especially after some length of time..  what has your experience been, 
pro and con?  Anyone have distortion, sticking and squeaking or similar 
problems?

Here's the link..  it's a, uh, American car site, so be forewarned! ;-)

The arguments sound sensible, though I have no clue if these effects 
occur as fast as he's saying.

Bum rap, or not?

Jon
