Okay guys.....I'm letting the motor bit set, so I'm on to suspesnion (something I can actually work on right now) and I need a new set of trailing arm bushings.
I was looking into the Weltmeister Polygraphite bushings because they were a decent price. Anyone have other opinions on these bushings or other ones for below $80? I would love poly-bronze bushings but $260 from pelicanis just a little steep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

BTW..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) .....sorry
 It looks like that is how its done here.....a couple sleaves an inner and outer. Are they then pressed on the shafts? for the front and the back? The other option is of course doing the polybronze setup which McMaster has as well. |
