allright guys I am going to start gthering parts to rebuild the front of my 78, I know I am going to replace the control arm bushings and shocks and springs. I need to know is poly that good for a DD I dont want the dreaded squeak but have heard that the black poly's dont squeak but cant confirm that. I like the stance of my car in the front now but things are WAY to soft and floaty on the HWY and bottoms out real regular so My question is should I do the black poly bushings or oem stuff and which moog springs should I use it is a 78 2 door v8 with a/c and will stay that way. here is a pic for reference with 215/60/15's on the front

Hello
Like mentioned above. I would suggest going with a Poly Bushing as well! They not only hold up better over the rubber bushing. They will last much longer as well as long as the body mounting bushings are maintained. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad :D
