Rubber or Poly for a Daily Driven Corner Carving Street Machine?

That said, the LCA pin can slide in and out of the poly bushings. But it's not the job of the LCA bushing to locate the LCA fore/aft. That's the job of the strut rod. If the strut rods are the correct length, the LCA, pin, and bushing don't go anywhere, even with poly LCA bushings. The stock strut rods are a "one size fits most" kind of thing, and what that really means is they don't fit anything all that well, just "good enough" to get the old factory alignment (which isn't what you want anymore!). I have adjustable strut rods on all of my cars, and none of them are the exact same length as the stockers.

That statement right there explained quite a bit. I did worry about that forward/back movement, but you're right. The strut rod should minimize that.

Hell I worried about the slight chance the torsion bar shot out the back that the LCA would fall off if I had Poly bushings but no, the strut rod should hold it steady. Yeah, I know....I worry too much. LOL

So far the Poll has been pretty interesting. At the time of me writing this, it's almost 50/50.

Going the Poly route I was thinking of going with this kit since it includes everything I need to rebuild the LCA's: PST Performance Mopar Lower Control Arm Deluxe Rebuild Kit

That includes these: PST Greasable Control Arm Pivot Shafts

I wonder if they are Proforged parts because they look exactly like these Summit parts: Proforged Control Arm Shaft Kits 120-10003

I definitely plan to get the Adjustable Strut Rods since I'm already tearing the front end apart anyway. I was looking at either PST Adjustable Strut Rods or RMS Adjustable Strut Rod. It probably doesn't matter which I get because I was told that the PST branded parts are actually RMS parts.
