A useful comparison would have shown compliance = deflection / load
Implicit in the Rogue graph is that whatever the load, it is the same in each case. For the data to have any meaning, whatever that load is, it must be attainable in service.
Have a look at the construction of an OE front tension arm bushing and explain how it can deflect 25 mm.
The bolt hole is about 12 mm diameter, meaning you believe that the bushing can deflect by two bolt holes under a load that can be seen in service.
You do know that there are deflection limiting bumpers on that bushing don't you? There is not enough space between the inner and outer shells for 25 mm deflection to be possible.
Rogue's graph pretends to be data, but without the load component being specified, the graph itself is a "load". You are too eager to accept marketing hype.
