polyurethane, nolathane and ulethane. Just wondering what is the difference between the three and are they a better replacement for rubber? Longer lasting etc. Are you better off to mix and match (rubber and a...thane) to certain areas? I have heard they have become a lot softer now and are available in different hardnesses?

Thanks

Yes Leroy, they do become noisy if not well lubed, and the best lubrication - although expensive is Teflon grease. The only advantage in using Teflon lubrication is, not too much need be applied, as it lasts for seemingly ever. As will your Urethane bushe
