Has anybody out there replaced there control arm bushings on there front axle? Did you replace them with rubber bushings or go with a polyurathane?

I would think it much smarter to go with the poly. Try this site and maybe it will help. www.prothanesuspension.com

I got a set from Energy Suspension . The one problem is that they don't actually list a kit for the Cummins equipt 2500 and 3500, they are all for the gassers. The steel center sleeves do not have a large enough diameter to fit the mounting bolts. If the sleeves are drilled out they do not have a very thick wall to support against the mounting brackets on the frame and axle, they would work their way loose and then you start to hear a clunking noise. What I did was to take the old rubber bushings and cut the center sleeve out of them and drill out the poly bushings to fix the original sleeves into and that has fixed the clunking noise. I did the same trick for the track bar as well.

Rancho sells square tube arms with poly bushings.
