    I run steel bushings. Grease on regular basis. I have about 30 races on mine and that's about 30 car wash trips with no issues with them. I prefer the steel bushings but that's just me.

    Steel bushings are fine, grease regularly.

    My chassis builder told me he likes the Poly bushings over the Steel ones because they don't oblong the holes on the chassis as bad.
