Another trailing arm bushing question, Polly bronze durable? Options

[trojanhorsepower]

I relatively recently installed my new set of 914rubber bushings. These were purchased maybe 10 years ago and installed maybe 5 years ago, but since the car was apart they have almost no miles on them. After finally being able to drive the car I found this.

So clearly these don't fit properly. I was going to go with the Elephant racing kit, but a friend of mine installed poly bronze bushings on his Jeep and they did not last a year. Anyone have any experience with these bushings as to long term durability? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with the soft rubber original style?

Thanks,

Peter

Well, I've got polybronze installed over five years ago and about 4,000 miles per year. No noise, ride is not overly harsh. Only service is grease every spring. I think they are perfect for a 914 that is driven. Mark

I think I have put in at least 10,000 miles going to 914 events etc in the red 3.2 with the poly bronze bushings from Elephant. Didn’t notice the roughness. Now getting out of the car at the end of the day - that can be a challenge. Due to height.

Worn, your car rides just fine. As a passenger in Red for more that a few miles, I can say I've never had back pain from riding shotgun with you.
