Not sure what polygraphite is (implies graphite lubricated?), but I have polyurethane everywhere on my 69 C-10 -- sway bars, track bar, rear control arms, cab mounts, and also on my Maxima's sway bars. Some come with a lubricant, but I've also used distributor cam grease and have never heard a squeak from any of them. By the way, the only bushings on my front suspension are for the sway bar. My control arm shafts don't have bushings, but instead are threaded on each end and rotate inside large cap nuts. There are grease seals between the nuts and the shaft. Is the C-20 different?
