Sadly,most are now off shore made and rubber quality is sub standard so look on the box if it says China or India keep walking.Since you kept the make of your car secret thats about the best advice I have. Energy Suspension (USA Made) is a real good product but limited coverage.

Gotta tell you, if you have never used urethane suspension bushings be prepared to be suprised in a noticably rougher ride, maybe more performance but rougher. I have did several with them and none are as smooth as factory bushings, last muscle car was a chevelle and used PST graphite impregnated, it stops the squeaks of the pure urethane and seemed the best I have tried, none are cheap.

I had a buddy with a '67 vette with all Energy Suspension bushings and you needed a mouth piece to ride in the thing, sold the car it rode so rough, rode much smoother with factory rubber.Why is mine so big and yours so small, Chrysler FirePower

Poly bushings also squeak. As well, they don't last as long as OEM rubber.
I hear the polygraphite don't squeak.
I can't believe how that last line came out...
Sorry, but I'm studying poetry in literature, and it jumped out at me as soon as I had tapped it out.
Now back to our previously scheduled program....
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
