ive searched and cant find any feed back on these (other then 2 less then favorable reviews on the bird site)

the price is right but is it worth the hassle? mine are pretty mushroomed so i think anything is better then what ive got...but i am on a budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
any feed back on these would be great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Dave

Silver -

As for the poor fir of my "hard" plastic bushings... they had been pressed on EXTREMLY tight by the previous owner. When we went o remove them, they had to be pressed out... and I think one was even cracked.

I will need to check for what my mechanic did to install the new rubber-type bushings, but he did mention that the final fit was snug but not pressed on. He had obviously done this kind of work before.

Take the advice of guys on this site on whatever type you elect to install. If in doubt, consider having them installed by a qualified mechanic. The last thing you want is improperly installed bushings. Trust me... I know.

Cheers, and good luck!

Robert
