68 Firebird Convertible Subframe Bushings
Looking for opinions for subframe bushings. Do you recommend rubber, neoprene, or aluminum and your experience with what you used, e.g., handling, noise, squeaks.

I like poly if you aren’t running subframe connectors. They do not squeak.

Thanks. I do have subframe connectors - what's the problem with the poly and subframe connectors? Thanks again.

In my 1969 firebird, I’m running subframe connectors and rubber body mount bushings. No complaints with the bushings; no harshness or noise being transmitted in to the car. I have used polyurethane bushings in the past, I didn’t really notice anything different between them and the rubber ones now. However, I don’t race or autrocross the car.

I did the aluminum bushings with subframe connectors and the hotchkis center support (x plate replacement). It is stiff but handles great.
