Message	It is just by the ball joint in the LCA, but that is still a rigid connection between the two. The nature of the ball joint might change things, but I'm pretty sure its still transferring NVH between the two components. The mixed-bushing setup in this application has never really caused any problem that needed to be solved, but I do think you can avoid some small additional percentage of vibration using the same bush materials. Maybe!
