Neatrix available for the front??

I was scanning an older parts catalog - said that Neatrix 911 bushings for the front would soon be available (around 2000).

Are they?

I've looked at PP's index, only shows the rears.

If Neatrix is not, what is a good street bushing? I assume rubber is not available. Not interested in the hard plastic ones. Don't want increased noise or squeeking - don't need any performance increase over stock rubber.

Thanks.

The front Neatrix bushing never came to fruition. The only bushings available for the A-arms are plastic. Weltmeister makes a street hardness poly. Must be lubed, or greased with zerks installed ala Chuck Moreland's thread of about a year ago.

Neatrix bagged the fronts.

Apparently the prototypes left the front end feeling sloppy. The driving experience was described to me as "scary".

Check this link for a new type control arm solution:

These are not rubber, in fact they bronze. They are a very different way to solve the problem.

I've got the Weltmeister "Street" hardness poly bushings on the front of mine with Neatrix on the back. Ive been very happy with the result and so far (1.5 years) no squeaks have developed.

Nick.
