I did replace all the bushings on my 56 Patrician and that car rides like a dream. Only time it levels it self is when there is a weight change in the car (added gas, or people) or if I raised the car off the ground to the point the wheels leave the ground. It seems any time the system is unloaded from the car's weight it needs to settle back out by pushing on the front or rear bumper once it is back on the ground.
I noticed on my 400 with original bushings some occasional "phantom" leveling, where the thing kicks on when the car is sitting still, long after any weight change, and also it tend to not level out perfectly. Especially in a "phantom" leveling situation, it often ends up more out of level than when it started.
It's really something that only an owner would notice, thankfully, but I can tell it "ain't quite right". I'm considering a bushing replacement maybe a year or couple from now once the more important things are sorted and I get some miles on the car.
