Polyurethane bushings are generally more durable, stiffer, and provide better performance, but they can also be more expensive and result in increased road noise and harshness. Rubber bushings are typically softer and quieter, but may require more maintenance and have a shorter lifespan. The choice between the two ultimately depends on your individual needs and preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Steel Corvettes","offers":[{"title":"1963-82 Front Kit Only","offer_id":48026598801650,"sku":"VS-41448","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1963-74 Rear Kit","offer_id":48026598834418,"sku":"VS-41449E","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1975-82 Rear Kit","offer_id":48026598867186,"sku":"VS-41449L","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1963-74 Front \u0026 Rear Kit","offer_id":48026598899954,"sku":"VS-41550E","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1975-82 Front \u0026 Rear Kit","offer_id":48026598932722,"sku":"VS-41550L","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6594\/4306\/files\/63-82_Corvette-Poly-Conversion_Rear.jpg?v=1759771076","url":"https:\/\/www.vansteel.com\/products\/1963-82-poly-bushing-conversion-kits","provider":"Van Steel Corvettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
