I am trying to find some reasonably priced rubber suspension bushing. I do not really want the stiffness of the poly ones, but they are so much cheaper than the only rubber ones I found. Any thoughts?

Power flex bushings. The plastic transmits road noise like rubber , but works like a bushing.

Someone needs to make cheaper rubber replacements for the daily drivers. |
