Having the experience of rebuilding Matt's barn find, we noticed that there was rust around the edges of the tubes that went through the control arms. After cleaning these up we noticed that these were constructed from hollow tubes that had a plate with a bolt end welded on. The welds had not been cleaned up well and rust had pitted the them and allowed for water penetration actually allowing the inside of the tube to rust.
We made replacement simple. Machining the new tubes from stainless steel they will never be able to rust and fail. Once we had the center shafts ready we made the bushings from rubber just like factory. These proved difficult to install, so we switched this up to poly-graphite and they we much easier to install. So our "kit" comprises 2 - solid stainless steel pivot shafts, and 4 poly-graphite bushings. Attached thumbnail(s)
