Just .02. The reasoning behind it is that Poly is more of a gel, and with lots of abuse, can get real soft, softer then rubber.
Al,

If you know where that was I'd love to see it.

It's always been my understanding that poly is stiffer (hence the better handling) and more longer lasting than rubber, and it was the road noise and binding (when not greased) that were the downsides of it.

As for the LCA issue, I bowed out the channels on my GTP's rear LCAs. And that was with a mostly stock L67 and front wheel drive. And solid rubber bushings.
