Has anyone replaced their upper a-arm bushings with poly bushings?

If so where did you get them, and how much?

I haven't heard of anyone replacing the bushings with poly. I understand, the poly bushings, since they are harder, will transmit the road noise to the interior, and it is very loud. Whilel I was developing my a-arms several people with "other" brands of IFS said they changed their OEM bushings with poly and they needed to change back to the rubber units because it drove them crazy.

I may look around for poly bushings, because my lower bushing are shot at 75K. If I find both the top and bottom, I will post the part numbers.

thanks for the input al... I just thought it would be stronger to withstand the cracking and force of the mopar ones... Dealer wants a lot for them, and the autozone nearby wasn't anybetter.
