all new bushings

is there a kit anywhere that has all the suspension bushings for a 73 mach one?

i found this one: http://www.cjponyparts.com/prothane-total-bushing-kit-without-transmission-mount-1967-1973/p/SBK12/

but that is poly and i was hoping to keep it rubber so that it wouldnt ride really hard. also, im not entirely sure what bushings would be missing out of that set, or does it have all the bushings so that i could completely change all the bushings out and get new ones in?

Just want to reinforce - DON'T USE POLY.

So many stories of squeaking, and in the struct-rods literal shattering of the rod itself with poly bushings.

I bought rubber and I think it works great. Just wears out faster than we like.

Also - I don't see sway bar frame bushings in that kit. Yours maybe OK because they are encapsulated by a metal piece, but the bushings at the frame are an important component. Also, if you upgrade anything in the front suspension, make sure you have a sway bar of 1 in diam or more. best improvement to handling I have seen for a stock suspension.

your right, i had forgotten about the sway bar bushings. id prefer to not use poly,but i havnt found a kit for all rubber yet. poly seems to be way easier to find than actual rubber

did you buy your bushings as a kit or just as individuals? im pretty sure my bushings all are stock so im sure they are all beyond shot
