Anyone have an educated guess as to the durometer of the stock 95 SR UCA bushings? Also what durometer would you recommend if I were to pour my own? I can't decide between upper 80'sA durometer and mid 70'sD. If I get a good mold made, I'll produce a run of these and sell them at freakishly low prices. I'll probably mold them in hot pink so the Arizona crew wont feel left out. (or black)

I'd research the durometer used on similar products and use that.

It varies from 80A to 80D. Anywhere between them. The D range seems way to hard

I'm serious. My thinking went this way. If D is very hard, on a range from A-D, and it's on an off road vehicle, where you want some compliance to avoid bending hard parts, but road handling want's some stiffness, B is the correct compromize. On a street sports car, I'd want D. On a strictly offroad vehicle, I'd want A.

What makes you think I'm whacko? Outside of experience?
