Earthworm poly bushings.
I see these things were highly popular.
And lots of u purchased them.
I read both of his threads in full.

I am interested in knowing now that they are several years old...
What are ur impressions of them?
Are there noise issues (like squeaks or clunks)?

What does properly lubricated mean?
One time?
Every week?
Every month?
Every oil change?

When you install them.



However if you drive in a dust bowl, drive on sandy beaches you might have to re-grease them.

Re: Earthworm poly bushings.
I think Earthworm is the forum member who made these bushings.
Does anyone know if they're still available?

Re: Earthworm poly bushings.
Are these bushings any different from the Strongflex ones?

Re: Earthworm poly bushings.
I don't believe that the differential bushings are in the strong flex kit.
