No Dak content here, but..seems to be the consensus from most people's
experience that with the classic Mopar suspension the main bushing to
replace with poly is the strut rod (and sway bars). On the control arms
there isn't a lot of bushing there to smoosh anyway. My only experiece was a
with a Dart I had, but I put poly strut rod bushings in place of the missing
bushings rather than rubber so I can't really say much about the
improvement. No noise though!
