i think some parts are made with various plastic
but i just think this way
my observation is about old and new bushes
and other connectors
the old ones was "ready to break" however the new ones
are stronger
maybe this is the same plastic but in different proportion of source material
the new ones look a little bit less shiny
but this could be just an effect of the different moulds
pixel
btw:
maybe the trial of fire if radical
but you can test some aspects of materials
dropping them on hard surface
let's say from 20cm height
and hear the sount and look on "jumping"
but this is not too scientific test :)))
