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.

Some things you should be aware of:
The ID of the trailing arm tube is out-of-round.... nearly .04 on mine. The over all length of your trailing arm tube with bushings installed should be about .03 shorter than the pivot rod, shoulder to shoulder. You'll need to grease the flange of your bushings to keep them from grinding on the ears....and keep on it as grit will get in there...iff'n you ever get it off the stands.
