Control Arm Bushings - The Final Word?, Who is telling the truth? Options

[bcheney]

I need to replace the control arm bushings on my 6 conversion. I am using stock 914 contral arms. I purchased a set of OEM style rubber bushings. The manufacturer is URO Parts. They have a U-tube video explaining why they made their bushings along with a demo of how to install them. The price of a complete set of four bushings was about $50.00 Here is the link to URO's U-tube video

Elephant Racing makes there own version and claim that brand X (It looks like they may be referencing the URO parts) will not stand up over time. Their price for four bushings and installation tool is over $200. They say the brand X bushing significantly deforms after just one load. Here is the link to Elephants
U-Tube video that compares the two types.

I am really beginning to wonder if I should just go ahead and install the poly bushings I had at the beginning of all of this. They ran about $40.00 OR $50.00.
I was told they will squeak...so that's why I looked into the OEM style rubber type. I Really dont want to spend another $200 if I dont have to. If you have experience with any of these bushings please give me your thoughs. I would like to know what the real world report is...

Just to clear a few things up:

FreeMotion fronts are available to ship TODAY.
FreeMotion front races are not 'glued in'.
FreeMotion rears are nearing completion. The prototypes needed some beefing up for extreme conditions (fine for 'normal' driving) and I'm waiting for a quote to come back for machining the final necessary parts.

Delrin is a good choice for the price, but IMHO, nothing can beat roller bearings for reduction in friction. The price is higher, but the value bears out over ever expansion crack, railroad, and pothole.
