You might have re-introduced it...

According to past posts, installing poly bushes in the front sway bar chassis holders will increase understeer, or re-introduce it if you had already installed poly in the rear sway bar holders.
I do not know from experience if this is true, but if a few people had posted about it, claiming it did, then that's good enough for me.
I replaced the front sway bar chassis bushes with oem rubber. You'd be very surprised how tight and stiff new rubber is, compared to what you pull out from what's in the car. Granted, poly will last much longer, but is it worth it if it causes less performance?
One thing I'm not happy about and am wondering about their performance, are the poly end-link bushes I installed. These go on top of and underneath the control arm, supporting the end-links. However, the bushing that the end of the sway bar is attached to (in the top of the end-link) is rubber. I've noticed that this rubber has pulled awy from the end-link, and when I jack up the car on either side, the end of the bar actually pulls out of the end-link. I'm thinking the poly bushes are keeping the end-links from moving, but the bar is still moving due to the softer composition of the rubber that it is attached to. My end-links were fairly new when I first noticed this, so it wasn't due to old rubber.
