Rubber or poly bushings deflect and add friction to the joint. But they help keep nvh at acceptable levels, good for street cars. Heim joints or spherical bearings do not deflect and have almost zero friction. Good for race cars where nvh is not a concern. There is no reason to have rubber, poly, or delrin bushings on a track only car.

rubber and soft poly flex which adds a bit of cushion, nice for street car who doesn't want there car to shake and rattle over pebbles in the road, doesn't last forever though. but with this flex from the softer materials your alignment can come out of exact measurement, something youll never notice on a street driven car or most at least. delron and harder poly is more like a step up, hardly no flex but not strait out solid either, maybe for like the weekend racer or the drive to track and then race kinda guys, and last a long time.some delron,and all spherical bearings are strait out full race, no cushion, so you feel everything in the road, but zero movement so suspension components are exact where you want it to be. people use all these pieces in any order they want and set it up how every they want but these are some of the differences and things u can expect.

Not trying sound like hating or being rude. But thought he was build a few different type cars drift, open track, and straight line. So kinda figured he's been around to know the difference.

i was rude myself, sorry. i just get tired of dealing with people always bagging on shops, like were some crooks that should know everything, or people out of there home that use google way to much that think they know it all as well, trying to down talk shops on here just cause they finished reading a couple paragraphs out of google or on some forum. really we people that have shop,s are just people like u, and we all make mistakes, we all are learning, its just a tough business cause a lot of shops do act like they know everything and scam or screw stuff, and then push there customers out the door. me and a good handfull of other shops on here sometimes take the wrap for bad or crooked shops. so where up against a lot.but the ones i see on here have been honest and do good work, and bend over to make there customers happy. its embarrassing at times when i come in the teck talk to ask questions myself, but there really is some good helpfull people on here. but no body knows everything or close to it.

mustang design in general causes the torque boxs to fail. the difference in bushings just speeds or slows the problem. so your question changed a bit, is like asking a exaust, or muffler shop, what cam to run in the motor, or what heads to run. yes the exhaust bolts to the motor, but is he a engine builder? no. does he specialize in suspension? no. he does have to remove an install these pieces to get to his job at hand. but he is a frame strengthener, a chassis reinforcer, roll bars, not a suspension guy, but he wants to learn and know more.
so what i see is a guy asking a question to improve his knowledge on bushings, he probably sees many different kinds of bushings, and what does he get? any help full answers? any links to help? are u on here to help him? if your not trying to help, then what is your purpose? wondering why a guy doesnt know everything, and further wondering why is he asking? yeah he should of asked in teck talk, but he might have pink eye for all i know lol.

the track , and drift, and strait line stuff john has mentioned, was a team kinda thing where working on if our schedules permit us.he the iron 50 welder and strengthener, we got a driver, we got a engine builder, we got a couple suspension guys as well. i think we might have the total package, we got a good assortment of folks that are working together. i ask john questions to help my welding skills, and they have improved. this a forum to help others am i right? so maybe a guy that welds metal, wants to learn more about rubbers lol.

Rick, its not that serious to get all mad when someone says something negative about Jonathan, you got to understand the people that has something negative to say been knowing him way longer than you and know how be gets down. This is a open forum for discussion. Jesse and myself have first hand experience with Jonathan and everything we have said is backed up with straight facts. It's just funny when someone in tech talk ask a question about suspension and jonathon is the first person on there talking about they can do it and he builds drift and road racing cars and then he don't even know something as simple as the difference between bushings, something is extremely wrong with that picture.
