Looking to replace all the rubber with polyurethane. It needs it desperately
The front end is VERY sloppy I was looking at this kit from Zip

A lot of times the sloppiness can be removed with just new rubber bushings.
The poly can be a lot stiffer and some will squeak frequently.  If you do
the poly, get those that are impregnated with graphite.

If you know someone who has the poly, you should ask for a ride and maybe a
chance to drive before making the decision.

I'd recommend Vette Products and Brakes in St. Pete, FL if you go that
route.
