The "upgraded" urethane bushings will last a lot longer, but these parts may produce some rattles and clunking after a year or so of normal use... at least they did on my car.

Avoid DeutcheParts the company and DeutcheParts parts from other resellers at all cost. Their stuff is total crap and they've been hammered here on the forum repeatedly as being a lousy company with lousy parts for sale. Their drop link bushings didn't last 1 year on my car with light use!

You know, it might be smart to buy salvaged ones in good shape from Woody (itsnotanova) like I did earlier this year. $25 a piece and they have lots of good miles left on them. The savings alone is worth it in my opinion.

Also, the polyurethane bushings will be squealing like a pig as soon as they become dry and will drive you nuts...
