Too harsh for you?

I'm going to be doing my rear bushings soon and I was going to go urethane. Not sure if I want the all out hard ones though.

How bad were they exactly?

They were actually fine. The only squeaked backing out of the driveway.

Driving they were quiet.

Ygpm.

After thinking about it some more, the biggest issue was that I have adjustable trailing arm mounts (slotted). I need more compliance in the bushings for it to work right because it offsets the axis.

These weren't harsh, but the above caused the rear to groan too much going up the driveway and slow speed maneuvers, etc.

Driving, they were great.
