Anyone have any good or bad feedback on poly bushings and bodymounts for 1st gen. Camaros. Looking to replace replace cracked and rotted factory ones. Seems everyone sells them so the decision on which ones to buy is a little muddy. Any info would be great.

I went with the Poly graphite ones from PST. I am very happy with the ride so far...

I looked thru the search topics and saw some people referring to hasher and noisier rides. Mccory, any noticeable changes in your ride?

Anyone try the masterflex kit from Jeg's. Would it compare to the poly graphites from PST? Good product? Good value?

Here's another vote for PST. Rebuilt my stock car front end with the poly graphite. Works great! I will be getting another kit for my 67.

Where you buy the PST's from? Aren't the Energy suspension ones the same? Or no?

I'm gonna be sandblastin the control arms tommorrow night then priming so now would be a good time to return these while I still can if I want different ones. All I'm doing at the moment is the A-arm bushings 'n ball joints.

Energy Suspension bushings are excellent bushings.

I went with the Energy Suspension polys on mine, and the ride is much tighter, but not really harsh.....KZ

I have PST bushings and body mounts as well. The Energy bushings are not graphite impregnated, and squeak more from what I've heard.

I replaced all of my bushings with the ones from Energy Suspension that I bought from Jeg's. I used the grease that came with them, and haven't heard any squeaks for over two years now. I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that the black ones have graphite in them. I used the black ones on my car. All of the black ones have a "G" suffix after the part number - meaning "graphite" ?

68ragtop - I just saw your reply in a previous post about the "G" meaning "graphite". Thanks, Ron.

The Energy Suspension control arm bushings in my car have 10,000 miles on them and havent squeaked so far. I slopped a lot of lube on during installation. Ride is definitely not harsh (with stock spring rates and KYBs).

use only the black energy bushings they are graphite impregnated. the colored ones are not for street setups. the pst are good but they messed my order up.
