Suspension Question. (Parts that move on Single Axis))

So im in the middle of refreshing my chassis and ive been doing some reading and was going to purchase a poly bushing kit to replace all my 180XXX wirn bushings, but it seems poly bushings are at time aren't ideal.

Since certain joints move on more than one axis, Im wondering if anyone knows which joints move only on a single axis.

Off the top of my head, (correct me if im wrong) i can only think of the front control arms being the only ones since they only move up and down by swiveling right?

I replaced all my old worn bushings with the poly bushings a couple years ago and I do not regret it. There is a big difference between the two.just replace them all and you will love them.

the rear bushings are multi axis, so they should stay rubber, the stock bushings are actually really inexpensive.

you can replace all the bushings with poly if you like... many people opt to replace the DTSS (Dynamic tracking suspension system) with a DTSS eliminator kit

When I rebuilt my syuspension I used PolyUrethane bushings throughout and I also installed the dtss eliminater bushings. The car feels much sharper and responsive to drive. However it also feels all the bumps and vibrations more also, tho that will be effected by how stiff you shocks and springs are.

I think its a great upgrade, just my $.02
