Had some time and bronze extrusion so thought I would try my hand at making some trailing arm bearings. Hopefully these will eliminate the "striction" (sticky friction of synthetic bearings). The ID is 28mm, the OD is 38mm, the flange diameter is 52mm, the flange width is 6.3mm, the overall length is 55mm. To do list: cut an oil groove midlength and crossdrill into this. After pressing these in will drill and thread a grease zerk to intersect the oil groove.

My Delrin bushings don't have "striction", are a lot easier to turn than bronze, and have a spiral groove for grease. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) These really seem to have minimal friction, will have a grease groove and be easy to regrease. Doing projects such as this fulfills my never ending need to keep making things and not ever getting the car off the rotisserie.
