Okay I have a swaybar design done. I am thinking about bushing materials. Currently have Weltmeister Poly Race hardness. I smoothed the arm bores etc.. to make the fit better and not grab hard. But they still grab!!!!

So up on the list I need to know experiences, etc.... with each.

Stock rubber - works for a street car.

Poly - easy to find, seems to grab like a glue gun on steroids.

Delrin - easy to find now, self lubricating, can be custom machined, needs to be replaced more often?

Poly/ Bronze - poly fills gaps the bronze gives you a bearing surface. $$$

Rollers - $$ / time or $$$$$ with out the time.

So what seems to be the best way to go bang for the buck, my $$ tree is not that big.
