I was bushing polly urithane for a while. She has a weird name, but in the sack it doesn't matter.

You might try looking for polyurethane bushings. www.suspension.com sells them, among others. But IMHO, changing bushings is a pretty big pita, enough that I would buy new OEM control arms and get new balljoints too.

The bushings are most likely not the cause of your pulling. If your running low profile 45 series Z rated tires, the pull your feeling is probably caused by road surfaces. Z rated low profile tires will follow road irregularities, ruts and left or right tips. Have your alignment checked to make sure the front end is tracking properly as well. If the front toe and camber are off, the tracking and pulling gets worse.

I've got the same problems: pulling when braking, shaky wheel on the freeway and now I've developed a clunking when hitting bumps. I plan to have my mechanic take care of it (I don't have the stomach for suspension work). Would it be better to replace both control arms and ball joints or just have them put in new bushings? Anybody have an idea what a reasonable price for this work is?
