I just rolled over 83k and my OEM bushings on the LCAs were failing. First I experienced the seeping oil out of the bushings... then came wheel wobble and clunking etc etc.
After a bit of research I decided to go with the Poly Bushings on both the front and rear of the LCA's. Also opted to replace the ball joints while the arms were off.
First drive was great! My initial impression is that they are 15% or so stiffer than the OEM bushings and the solid material gives you slightly more road feel and feedback. I would say that it handles a bit better too with moderately reduced understeer. I was concerned that they would be too stiff but I don't think that will be the case. I liked the OEM feel of the LR4 but this imop is very close yet durability and strength are far superior. Ill report back during brake in but so far so good!
