My Jeep Patriot rear sway bar bushings are creaking worse than my knees. A forum member recently alleviated the squeak by simply lubing them with grease. But, I was thinking that if I am taking them apart, I might just go ahead and replace them....maybe.
Options are OEM Rubber, MOOG Thermoplastic, or Energy Suspension greaseable polyurethane. They are inexpensive, so cost is not an issue.
Please explain to me the pros and cons of each option. The MOOGs claim to be better than rubber, but not prone to squeaking like polyurethane. Is there actually a performance improvement with polyurethane that Energy Suspension claims??? On a daily driver street machine?? MOOG and Energy mention possible worse NVH (noise,vibration,harshness).
Thanks!
