UCA rubber or poly-greasable inner joints

[Inlinejohn]

BDS offers a nice UCA with rubber bushings w/o need for greasing. Others offer a poly joint with grease fittings.

Thoughts on pros/cons of either choice other than the obvious (you can grease the poly)

Thanks for reminding me I need to order some poly grease, my UCAs are getting squeaky.

I usually prefer rubber for a primary street rig.

Ok thanks. Interesting BDS promotes their UCA along with big Fox shocks and not really talk about why choice of rubber bushings. Maybe just similar to factory for noise, ride quality??

Poly bushings will outlast the rubber bushings, and your front suspension will likely feel slightly stiffer and/or more prone to vibration and road noise, but will pivot much smoother. If you’re spending more time onroad than off, rubber bushings will preserve your existing ride quality.
