RE: Trailing arm bushings - urethane?

["TJ Noto" <tj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't see any reason not to use urethane bushings anywhere and
anytime.  They're far superior to plain rubber regardless of how hard
you push the car.

I recently replaced the trailing arm bushings in my CS and the results
were very noticeable, despite the fact that the original rubber units
were not terribly worn.

I plan on full urethane upgrades to Chela's GTV when I get to that
portion of the restoration.

Regards,
TJ
