How do you like it? Did it solve your issues or does it vibrate more?

Seems to do the job. It fixed the excessive play in the control arm. Driving on road and off road, they feel like normal healthy rubber bushings as far as I can tell. Even if they were stiff and harsh I probably couldn't tell with as much sidewall I'm driving on.

hello friend, polyurethane is a bad choice. Polyurethane does not dampen fine vibration, the clip peels off from the rubber, the suspension will become rigid and will gradually break the seat of the lever. It also creaks when dust gets in, and your grease can't save you. I'm sorry for my poor English. Sincerely from Russia.

I agree with you, however it is better to run lower tire pressure and have bushings that last for the rest of the vehicle lifespan then replace the rubber bushings every 6 months or 1 year.

These Polyurethane Bushing look to be Super Pro brand bushing which are the same ones I used on my R50 Pathfinder when I replaced the Bushing, it's been 4 years and in that 4 years I have done a lot of hard off-roading and I haven't experienced any of the things you mentioned.
