I must be one of the few as I don't hate my 69 little car trunions.
at 76K on the body they are both fine. I bought Prothane setup, but when I tore it down the horizontal bushings were both tigh clean and working fine, so cleaned everything up used synthetic grease in them and reassembled them.
  No play in my verticals either,smooth turning, so I likewise left them till later.
I have a spare set that are tight, but they are out of a car with 43K on it. Someday I want to fully dissassemble them and do complete regrease and drill them for zerks then swap them in.
  But for now my orignals are fine!
