Why would you say so? Is it the stuff they sell, or their customer service, or ...? Currently they seem to have the best price for those TRW arms.

Isn't Vertex refurbishing old arms that they trade when you buy theirs?

I think they did. But currently, they only offer 2 kinds for that arm, one is TRW, and the other is the polyurethane from European Parts Solution brand. Both of them don't show the core charge anymore, just one price.

I used Energy Suspension Poly bushings in a couple Hondas that I rebuilt. Lubed them with silicone grease. No squeak and they worked well. A little bit stiffer than the stock, but that was on a Honda.

I replaced mine with the poly- bushed ones from Vertex a year or so ago, sending back the used oem arms as "cores".
Have been very well pleased with them so far...
Didn't notice any floating captive nuts on mine.

The captive nuts are attached to the underbody where the big bolt fastens the forward end of the track arm. I believe it is torqued to 118 ft/lbs.
