Hi Guys. Looking for thoughts on poly beam bushes inplace of the inner and outer beam bush/needle bearing set up. I got the beam stripped of its old bushes and bearings at the moment . So looking for views on this before making a parts purchase. Thanks.

It's hard to beat a beam with bearings for smoothness. I had red poly bushings and they were always stiff. I went with delrin bushings and it was a huge improvement over the poly but I'd still prefer bearings

OK thanks Nate. I'll still with the bearings and bushes. There's a few types of inner bushes. Gunna try the white nylon type a think.
