Exact same thing happened with my Neuspeed. I did what you just did & it hasn't happened again.

Default None...stock.
Makes you wonder...why not drill out the stock bushings if they don't need lubing and fussing like the aftermarket poly bushings?

Default probably a different durometer of the stock bushing vs. the aftermarket bushing

Default Ding! I've heard that the durameter of the bushing can significantly affect the handling
I have no data or seat time that could back this claim up though.

Happy New Year Ant!
