Stock rubber bushings are soft and do not allow positive location of the steering rack to the K-member. Steering is less precise and the inherent properties of rubber excessively dampens road feel. Urethane is a harder polymer characterized by a higher durometer value, yet it cannot provide positive location of the steering rack and road feel is compromised.
