Anti roll bar/ sway bar

My next job. Is it worth getting PU of should I stick to rubber for comfort? Is it worthwhile getting the kit or just replace the rubbers?

Poly will make the handling a bit sharper and shouldn't affect the NVH (noise,vibration,hashness) in this application.

Arcturus;

Don't forget, ASBs are only along for the ride when traveling straight, they really only contribute forces when suspension/chassis is side-loaded (like in curves, or really heavy one-sided bumps)...so having Poly-bushes allows ASB forces come into play earlier because there is no rubber to first compress...this will translates to crisper cornering...IF all-Poly transfers too much vibration into the body for your personal taste, you can make the link-ends Poly, and keep body mounts rubber.

Cheers

Thanks. It's the body mounts that are shot! The bar just flops around in them.
