They tend to be out-of-round and have irregularities that deform ordinary polyurethane bushings, pinching and binding the friction surface. Polyurethane is “grippy” with an inherently high coefficient of friction and combined with pinching polyurethane bushings create a lot of friction. The result is a harsh ride and reduced tire adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolyBronze have a rigid bronze bearing core that does not deform. The polyurethane jacket absorbs mount irregularities while the bronze inner bearing remains true, providing a free-moving machined-fit that rides on a precision race. Provided grease fittings make re-lubrication a breeze and a figure 8 groove keeps grease in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination delivers zero squeaks and friction-free suspension movement. Well suited to street or track, ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"testimonial\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Just a brief note to let you know that I finally got around to installing the rear polybronze bushes in my car and to my delight have absolutely no squeaks or graunching, an absolute pleasure to drive now.” \u003cspan class=\"source\"\u003eDavid W. – PolyBronze Bearings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-column full\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e356 used two different systems of of spring plates, cover plate, bushings, and torsion bars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-column\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-A, C and CS chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCame equipped with 553mm long torsion bars.
