Anybody try the above polyurethane bushings for our trucks?

Definitely have a pronounced shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. I checked the ball joints for both the lower/upper control arm and they're good. The upper control arm bushing is also still good but the lower one moves a lot when I pry on it.

My plan of attack is to drill/cut out the old bushing and then press one of the poly bushings in with a c-clamp.
SPD & AST bushings? These are China crap!

Powerflex or nothing.
