Thanks for that first hand testimonial Randy.  I put urethane endlink
bushings on mine but have been concerned that, due to their high stiffness
they seem to cause a greater torsional preload in the ends of the bar than 
the originals.  Based on your experience I may reconsider the wisdom of
this modification.
