Urethane axle beam bushing kit.
I'm about to embark on fitting adjusters and narrowing my beam by 2", during this operation I am wondering about the advantages or disadvantages of
replacing the bearings with a Urethane Axle Beam Bushing Kit?
It is on a ball joint front suspension and I will also be fitting dropped spindles.
Thanks.

All i've ever had with urethane is awful squeaking and premature wear, i'd try and stick to the original bearings if I were you mate.
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

And that goes for almost any urethane stuff.....particularly those nasty steering couplings.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
