My car is 91 LS 400 with 150K miles. Is it time to replace bushings ? Are polyurethane bushings a good alternative to the stock ones ? Thanks.

Sup guys,

Hey I'm down for a group buy for the busings. I guess it would be better to wait until the rear bushings were available. The ride wont be changed too much rite? I don't mind sacrificing some comfort for handling.

I think it's about time to replace them. I have a '91 also, but with 86K miles and my rears are out.

You guys need to find out if the bushings are the Graphite Impregnated ( most of the times they are black in color) if they are you will not have any problems with creaking sounds.................

Once you start hitting some ruff roads the ride can become jaring.......Remember there is no give in them like the old rubber ones.................I have run them on other cars(non lexus) and only like them on the sway bars.
