Poly-urathane bushings

hello everyone,
there is a knocking noise comming from my front passanger side and I suspect its the sway bar link bushing. I figure if im going to change it i might as well put on a performance one. what I want to know is if there is a difference in terms of performance, ride, or harshness. I have an SE stock setup for now but will drop it next month. Anybody have poly urathane's on their ride? I know they last longer than OEM's and are more durable...

thanks

Polyurathane end link bushings will not effect your ride comfort.

They will help stop some body roll.

Has anyone got experience with these. I was wondering if there's a real difference as well.

I reinstalled my front suspension yesterday so I swapped in the Energy Susp. end link and sway bar bushings while I was at it. I can't feel much of a difference, but they do look and feel more substantial than the stock ones that I took out....for whatever that's worth.

I feel slightly more of the road now through my steering wheel, but that's about it. I think once my susp. settles in over the next week or so I'll be able to give a better idea of what they're like.
