It WAS two upper a-arm bushings, I think they might be worn out though?

Those look like stock style rubber bushings. They wont last a lifetime, but ride much better than poly.

Yeah, I was going to go with HD rubber bushings, but I couldn't find them, so I just went with poly.

Poly will last, but they cant hold a candle to Rubber when ride is concerned....

I haven't ever taken a ride with anything with poly bushings, I'll be in for a suprise.

It magically fixed its self.

I like the ride of Poly better...it might be tighter, but feeling the road is something I prefer to feel. I don't like the disconnectedness of a rubber bushing.

Shaun...I'd look into a water pump...with that units housing that rusted it could lead to worse problems internally.

Poly is good until it gets cold out, and make sure you grease them things with all the grease you got.
