They squeek and sound real annoying after about 12-months. Did for me anyway.
The rubber ones lasted 40 years so why not put rubber back in there I rekon.

Use rubber! Nolathane will make it ride harsh and also promotes chassis damage because they ride so hard. Nolathane is probably great if you are going to do some time on the track.

Stick to rubber, unless you're on a race track. I tried nolothane/uretherane -ages ago so I forget which on the upper control arms of the HQ. Never again. Noisy. And the one I used on the steering box joint fed bucket loads of vibration/noise up the column. |
Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right. |
