Hi Y'all,

After using a Google search and finding MANY references to a variety of
bushing materials ranging from OEM rubber to Delrin to Teflon to high
priced variants to godonlyknowswhat bushing material I still don't have a
solid recommendation.

The patient: a '95 S6 approaching 150K miles.  The car is not used on the
track but does get some spirited mountain driving from time to time.  I
want good handling but don't want squeaking bushings, etc. or MAJOR
expense.  Nor do I want to lower the suspension due to the likelihood of
encountering numerous steep angle of attack grade changes in the area along
with the occasional deep snow.  I know for sure that some bushings are in
need of rejuvenation and plan to do the all just to get it over with at one
time.  I need some advice.  Stick with OEM in the belief that Klaus und
Fritz actually knew what they were doing?  Go with Delrin because it is
more dimensionally stable than rubber?  Pick some other material because
yadayadayada?

Your recommendations please?

TIA
Bob
