How do the elephant bushings compare with muller's roller bushings?
I consider Mike a friend and I'm not here to beat up on his products. But any prospective buyer should be aware of the pros/cons of the available bearing and bushing technologies and their suitability to automotive suspensions. Bushings require a good bit of labor to install, so you don't want to do this twice having made a poor product decision. Arm yourself with the facts and make an informed decision.
To that end I've written several papers addressing roller bearings, polyurethane bushings, and rubber bushings as used in auto suspensions. You can find them here:
