That was my first thought, but I have heard mixed results on that. Some say they break apart, and I have seen pucks break chunks off when playing hockey, so I wrote them off.

I also looked into solid steel mounts, but this frame flexes a lot when going through ditches and the woods and I don't need anything ripping apart.

I figured some harder poly bushings would hold it tight and let it flex a bit when the frame twists and the front left wheel comes up. My wife thinks the wheel lifting thing is cool.
