Nice chop with the grille swap. My work car needs a nose-job, I should get you to show me some options.
Are there any issues with poly bushes squeaking in that application? I use them in the front of my 4wd (panhard and radius arms), but they are positions that see very little rotation. The radius arm bushes don't rotate and the panhard only rotate a few degrees which is all taken by rotating flex in the bush.
Even though they go in greased, after a few months to a year the crush sleeves are basically bonded in place.
