Del-A-Lum bushings

a2race · 02-03-2014, 12:16 AM

Have any of you used these on the street? I have a 69 Nova street/strip car that needs the front end rebuilt.(rubber control arm bushings are toast, upper and lower) I was told by several to stay away from polyurethane bushings and to do good quality rubber bushings or run Del-A-Lums....the car sees way more time on the street than the dragstrip. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I used polyurethane bushings in the front control arms on my Mark VII.It increased the road noise and vibration in the car substantially."Body boom" going over expansion cracks was very annoying.They would also squeak as the suspension cycled.If I had it to do over again I'd use a quality rubber bushing.
