I have most of the poly bushings in the uGLI, and I was going to replace the 
front controll arm bushings soon.  I was told by a lot of folks to just use 
the standard rubber, or the Delrin. The urethane breaks too easy.

This is true, I've had urethane suspension and motor mounts in a bug, and 
several of them broke. I am now using the same motor mount set up in the bug 
that the Berg's Race car runs - guess what? They're all rubber. Harder, 
yes... but not urethane.

If I had to guess, the rear urethane motor mount in the uGLI, is probably 
broken as well. If I can find the VW Motorsports rear mount, I'll pick one 
up.
