I will be rebuilding my suspension soon and wondered what your thoughts on urethane is. I have read that they are quite noise and that they bind up the suspension. Your experiances and recommandations? thanks Mufasa

I've had them on both of my buggies, I guess they squeak if you push up and down on the suspension while the engine is not running. But I don't hear them when I'm driving.
I say go for it.

If you lube them with silicone, they won't bind and they tend to be quiet.
I hope this helps!
If at first you don't succeed, beat the pshaw out of the business partner, and then go at it alone! LOL!

Stick with all HD rubber mounts and gromets, specially if you run it hard, or go off-road at all. The poly will squeek, and eventually the bolts will pull through, as the poly tends to deform and flow under pressure.
