I started looking at these and found a couple of observations I wanted to pass along.
As for quality they are top notch. Nicely machined. The bushings are very well made. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) As for weight they are very heavy ! 6 pounds 15.5 ounces per pair vs the stock hollow axles that weigh in at 2 pounds 9.5 ounces per pair. So these are more than double the weight over stock. I understand they are indestructible, but I have never heard of a stock part ever failing so not sure if the weight penalty is worth it in this case. Also the ends are not serrated and a I am not sure if this is an issue but the factory put the serrations in for a reason I suspect. It would be cool if you could just order the Poly bushings separate skipping the axles for the people wanting to just run the stock pivot axles. The "E" brand does not sell their rubber bushings separate either. The bushings slip right in the trailing arms very easy and installation is very easy compared to the horror stories you hear from the other manufactures. I am interested in hearing others opinions on the ride quality and how quiet they are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Thanks ! Attached thumbnail(s)

Your stock axles look new. All the ones I've ever seen on the east coast are rusty and corroded.

QUOTE(pete000 @ Jan 15 2018, 12:43 AM) The "E" brand does not sell their rubber bushings separate either. Their bushings are a different id. Therefore, only their shafts fit their bushings. I've been selling new solid pivot shafts for years - made of a higher strength material and the same diameter as oem. Mine don't have the toothed ends either but I can add them if necessary. |

I'm curious if anyone has feedback after installing this kit?
My only hesitation is with the poly-graphite bushings. There seems to be a lot of (mis)information about there about bushings and a lot of folks use the term "poly" interchangeably and I know there's a difference between polyurethane bushings and polygraphite bushings. So, for anyone who has installed these parts: 1) How hard / easy is the install? Any bushing honing required? Any JB Weld required? 2) How is the ride compared to rubber bushings? 3) Is there any squeaking or binding? Feedback greatly appreciated! |

I have not driven on them yet. |
