Bushing Advice: Greasable Polyurethane Bushings -vs- Self Lubricating Bushings - Graphite / Rubber at CCOT

[FloridaLife]

OK, I'm counting on all of your input and expertise. What would be better: Greasable Polyurethane Bushings -vs- Self Lubricating Bushings - Graphite / Rubber at CCOT?

I want a smooth and quiet ride. Most of my driving will be local errands and/or local fishing trips. I'm in Central Florida, so 'maybe' an occasional off road trail, but certainly nothing like Colorado or Utah, and I don't know that it will ever see real rock climbing trails, although I wouldn't mind it being built to be able to handle that if the rare occasion arrives.

Thank you!

Polyurethane bushings will squeak if not lubed. That means you need to disassemble to lube or use greaseable pins. If you're wanting to keeps stock components then the rubber/graphite might be a better choice. If considering greaseable and do any off-roading than protection for the zerk fitting is something to consider.

Thank you. I think I'll go with the rubber/graphite. Fraction of the price of the polyurethane bushings too.
