I was wondering how hard it should be to rotate the A-arm when the strut is disconneted? I put new poly bushings in from Pelican when I restored the car a couple of years ago. I was updating some front suspension bits and when I disconnect the strut I have to pry the a-arm down.
Shouldn't it rotate fairly free? Are the bushings maybe not concentric? Just curiuos as to whether others have run into this and what the possible fixes might be. Don't really have a budget for the poly bronze bearings I have seen advertised. |

I would kind of lean toweard the id being too small, cause if I remember right whenI put the bearing on the a-arm it wanted to push itself back off. i can't remeber how the roattion was once installed.
They also haven't been greased in at least 4 years. Are Delrin bushings still streetable? or are they too harsh for that? |
