Be very careful when replacing rubber bushings with poly. Some rubber bushings are designed to flex in operation, if you install something stiffer it will bind.

Rubber bushings are usually bonded to the inner and outer sleeve, this prevents squeaking. Poly bushings are not bonded so they will make noise.
