- If the bushings make noise, that does not necessarily mean that they are
- worn out. The may just need a lube. You can shoot them with a spray
- lube (just make sure the lube doesn't attack the bushing material). If
- you want higher performance bushings, you can probably get aftermarket
- polyurethane bushings to replace the stock rubber (I assume) bushings.
- These will increase road nose somewhat, but have less give (and therefore
- yield better road feel and potentially better handling).
