There's urethane and there's Super Pro

I used a set of custom Nolathane bushes a million years ago in my CJ Jeep in the spring shackles and hangers.

They were flogged out in six months, just too hard/no compliance for the small bushes pre '75 Jeeps run.
Looking back I was lucky I didn't bend/crack anything.

I've always run rubber bushes after buying some red coloured POS bushes that lasted a month,I then bought super pro for the Tdi and they are going great guns after 5 years,like Rick mentioned,there's bushes and then there's super pro. Pat
