Think crush tubes good idea! As my front blocks had to be replaced because they started deforming where they bolt up to the rubber mount with a big flat washer (started to cave in)

They are under more stress than a lot of bushes that always have crush tubes so I agree. It just the first time Ive seen it
long time no see

Poly can on odd occasions split and crack. Never seen the tubes either but a good idea. I personally prefer ali blocks for the strength.
