They are supposed to be very very stiff. Down on Sinot Road the shop owner loathes them because of the lack of flex they have.

Avoid polyurethane suspension bushings if there is an alternative. They will squeek and squawk like a bag full of parrots once the lubricatioon dries out.
I had them in my '66 Convertible Chevelle and HATED them.

Urethane teflon composite is a better choice with little to no maintenance required.

There's a company that makes some called "Del-A-Lum" or something pretty close to that) for older muscle cars. I have no idea if they also could provide them for the MBZ, but a google search might yeild good results.
they are essentially a composite (teflon & polyurethane) bushing with a metal sleeve that has a zirk fitting integrated into it for continued lubrication.
They are fairly pricey if i recall, but many of the muscle car guys find them favorable to plain polyurethane.
