First of all let me apologize. I only get online via my smartphone and I can't use the search function. I'm sure this has been talked about to death. I'll settle for a link to an old thread if no on wants to bring this topic up again.

I have some bad radius arm bushings. I have snapping and popping during suspension flex and turns.

I replaced these bushings w "genuine " parts about 6 months/3000 miles ago. Is this the expected life span of these? I've read a bunch of conflicting threads on Poly vs Genuine. Poly has to be better right?? So who has a set of bushings and likes them? I need someone who actually uses them so I can get some real facts.

 

as you see in my avatar ,i have a 90 county as well , i had similar problems before , turned out no matter what bushings i put it was still loose , actually it was the bolt hole that was worn causing movement of the arm when flexed or under extreme terrain .

And because of the ' free play "on the arm the bushing would be busted in no time ..

Have a look at the holes if they are oval shaped and not perfectly round , you will not get the effect or 'piece of mind " with new bushings ,

If this is the case get a good quality big flat washer, not to thick and weld them over the oval on either sides on the axle housing ,to return it to its original shape ... that works fine and you are as good as new ...

As for your concern , I think poly bushes are much better with stability over OEM

 

Can anyone recommend a brand that's good quality?
