hmmm you shouldnt have these problems, poly bushings are used in tons of aftermarket replacement parts for tons of muscle cars...... my fullsize had them, and i twisted a set of pete and jakes parallel brackets in half before the bushings gave slack (no they did not break off the frame, the large bracket twisted until the tabs tore loose).....


on another note, the bushings you are showing off our site are alot larger than the ones in that kp kit you have, they are in a 2" OD (1.5" ID) sleeve 2" and 2.5" wide... but the bushings i had in my fullsize are the same size as the kp kit you have......
