 If the bushings are worn, there will be some fore/aft play and deflection 
 under braking. People convert to the poly bushings to avoid even a slight 
 deflection and to alter suspension geomentry. If you want NO deflection, 
 get the aluminum bushings! (real rock crushers!) I would NOT suggest the 
 alum. bushings! >>

Thanks for the info.  I am  not the least bit interrested in getting poly
bushings.  I like a firm ride, not a hemroid-enducing ride!!!  I was
basically just wondering if it was time for me to replace my bushings.  Well,
who knows, the stock bushings are cheap (inexpencive) and easy to install.
 Also, my car has WELL OVER 100k on it, so maybe it is time anyways?  (I have
nothing better to do...)

Thanks again,

Tim :)
