I "heard" the comment about poly bushings and binding, too, but I don't think it's a problem. Of all the bushings in a CRX that MIGHT bind, the only one I'd worry about is the lower outer control arm at the rear. It carries vertical load and side load simultaneously. At the front, this is carried by the lower ball joint.

Poly bushings require maintenance, IE, lots of lube, but it's a good excise to take everything apart and inspect every couple of weekends.

I'd recommend the prothane bushings over stock. If you've ever driven a car back to back after even doing just the lower control arms, you'd agree.

I too, spoke with Blake about poly bushings, his reason for not doing them was that it is a lot of work to install them.

As for pressing them out/in, burning the old ones out with a torch is the easiest way.

more later,
