Nylon bushings? That is about as close to zero in 'give' that you can
get short of using brass or steel. Typically urathane is used for
performance purposes. It's harder but usually not too harsh unless the
pavement is bad. You'll have to be specific where the nylon bushings
were used. If they were used for things that turn it's not that big of
deal, if they were used for control arms and such then that's
another big source of your problem.

He might be calling the Urethane, Nylon, does anyone even make real
Nylon for bushings? Seems like it might be too brittle for that
application, just a guess.
