Could it be because of Power Steering? The CRX/Hatch's didnt get power steering but i think the Sedans did.

I like prothane. I get a set from :cough: :cough: JCWhitney :cough:.

That's one of the few things I would buy from them....sealed set, they can't mess it up too much.

I've always thought prothane was better than ES.....not really sure why.

Keep in mind, poly bushings require greasing, and will wear out in a couple years if not greased properly....i've thought about installing some zirc(sp) grease fittings to make that easier, but I never got around to it.

rubber Bushings don't slide against the metal, they bond to it and do all the flexing internally...cool, but squishy.

Yes, I think the Prothane quality is a bit higher as well.
