We use Delrin in all our uppers a-arms with no complaints of harshness and no decline in expected life.

So, if you're so inclined, I'd order the Delrin.

Poly isn't bad for the front A-arms, but it does eventually turn to mush. Were talking over a LONG time, but it happens. That's why its not used on any OEM suspensions. For a weekend car, a street/strip or any other occasional use vehcle it's fine. IMO it has no business being used on a rear 4 link at all as it binds the rear suspension up pretty well. I'm on board with the Delrin.

X2. I'd have them in a heartbeat if I didn't have Global West's units that have spherical bearings.
