PST vs. Energy Control Arm Bushings

[THE "10" SILVERADO]

Starting to buy front end parts. Can't afford a complete kit so I'm parting it out over several months.

Was about to order some control arm bushings but I'm a little confused on what to get. I want to get poly, but I don't want the sqeaks so I looked at the "polygraphite" PST suspension makes. Heard some good reviews. Energy suspension makes poly bushings too and their black colored bushings are "polyurethane impregnated with graphite". Are these the same thing? Which is better? Of course you get what you pay for but the PST bushings are nearly double the energy and if it's the same thing I'm going to get the cheaper stuff.


Thanks.

I have energy suspension bushings on mine. I added some zerks to the front end to keep everything greased. Not to hard with a simple drill bit and 1/4-24 tap

Went ahead and ordered some of the Energy Suspension. After looking around more polygraphite is the same thing as graphite impregnated poly, just a trademarked name.

If you don't mind me asking Insidious, how did you install the zerks? Did you just drill through the top of the a arm and tap it? I think I'd like to do that.
