[urq] delrin C/A bushings

[Wylie Bean]

Just to add a bit of fuel to the fire, I saw on one of the hotrod shows on Speed where they were installing them but they were grooved and had grease fittings in the control arm thatv apparently lubed them as they twisted... I thought about trying to modify mine in that way because they're still on my coupe, but the car hasn't been driven in a few years, and will probably only ever see pavement as a track car from this point on, so noise isn't a big deal to me.

Same here. Delrin bushings in my coupe was the worst decision I ever 
made on that thing. They are now long gone.  Just as Wylie says, good OE 
bushings are great and last a long time if installed right.
