When I drop the hammer, & start pounding 6 gears that old longhorn goes a lot straighter with urathane bushings  The ride is stiffer, that is noticeable.....but she is a street toy. I dont think urathane is the answer for a 4x4 that needs to flex off road,or a truck that will haul a heavy load on a reg basis, but for my useage it shouldnt be a problem. price was not the big issue for me, the longhorn has a steel tilt nose, & those rubber bushings let the cab "dance "around on the frame with the clutch....you didnt know for sure where that clutch would engage! prob solved, after the urathane bushing install. crazyL
