Polyurethane bushings

My front bushings are shot, dead, cracked and falling off (95 3.4). The only ones I can find are poly. I need upper and lower a-arms.

Iver heard rumors about using the polyurethane and that it can cause damage to stock components. Is this true?

How many of you guys are using them? Do you like them?

Thanks

mods:
Poly swaybar end links (F/R)
UMI tubular lower control arms (R)
All the ball joints are new; same with the tie rod ends.
Shocks are new, as well as the rear coil springs.

I found Stock replacement bushings at advanced. they just started carrying them.

I would still like to know why they are supposedly bad.
