Poly bushings need to be lubricated, they are not like the OEM rubber
bushings.
Had not heard anything like that when I installed them over 10 years ago. Prior to installing them, the car did not roll. For the most part after they were installed, the car has gone less than 25 miles under its own power all mileage at less than 25 mph. After I had the car aligned to my specs, I don't think I have gotten the car past 40 mph. Total mileage on the car is about 30 miles. I think I ought to get more than 30 miles out of a set of bushings. Even without lubrication, I would expect them to still be intact given that little usage. I'm not torqued out of shape about it. I paid less for those guys than I would have for OEM rubber. Time wise, they out lasted the OEM rubber on an Olds Omega that I had made numerous suspension modifications to.
Curious, were you using them with adjustable strut rods and greaseable LCA pins? no
It seems like a needless expense to have to use them with adjustable strut rods and grease-able LCA pins. If I already was planning to use the hard parts, no problem. Something you brought up earlier: The pins on the UCA poly bushings fit tight in a fore&aft sense. Other than that the UCA bushings were a bit loose. The LCA bushings fit was snug from the beginning and did not fail.
