Message	It's just important to make sure the polyurethane ends aren't getting pinched in the mounting brackets. You want the crush tubes to be the only things contacting the brackets. Typical rubber bushings need to be torqued down while your car is on the ground because the rubber twists. Polyurethane bushings rotate around the crush tubes.
