Suspension repair. Bushes - rubber or polyurethane?
My time for suspension repair is coming soon. For choice – original Nissan rubber made bushes, or for example high quality polyurethane made bushes (made in AU). The price is the same (except delivery costs).
So what is your recommendation from your experience?

Now on odometer is 212 000 kms. I bought my shorty 3 years ago, and she has 170 000 kms. Suspension was in good condition so I do not no need to repair something.
But time to repair is coming soon.
