Any OEM bushings for SC available from dealer?
. . . not sure I understand your need for a tone here, but besides that, are you saying etholyene glycol is in PS fluid ??

First, uhmm... ethylene glycol is antifreeze! 
and for the LAST time . . .
There are pros and cons for either type bushing. Stating that one kind is "better" than the other, as if it were a matter of fact, is like stating that summer tires are "better" than all-season tires. Obviously that depends on what needs you're looking to satisfy and what your preferences are; are you driving in the rain a lot, does it get below 40 degrees a lot, do you want to get longer treadlife, etc. etc. etc.?? It's far too simplistic to give a blanket declaration that one is BETTER.
I'm not saying that there aren't good reasons to value poly's, but the "FACT" is that many people actually prefer rubber on their cars (of all types). Manufacturers did, and still do, use rubber; and it's not by accident or just to be cheap. I get the feeling everyone thinks rubber will magically disintegrate overnight if a little hydraulic fluid touches it. It most likely took years for that to happen and like what...90-100 K miles ?? I seriously doubt that most of the people on this forum would still even be driving their car by the time another set of rubber bushings was worn out.
IMHO, I prefer rubber in a car that's just rolling on the streets, but if I were tracking or doing some serious back road canyon carving, I'd take the poly's.
