Just as a side note, that seems to be a common failure.  Can't prove it, but
I strongly suspect it comes from too much end float in the OD.  The early
books give the desired range as .014" - .020", but the later ones reduce
that to .008" - .014".  On my OD it was closer to .050" !

Never tried Bob's bushings, but the approach seems sound.
