Were they the standard rubber bushings, or were they the urethane?  The las=
t recommendation I heard was to use the urethane bushings with new, upsized=
 fulcrum pins. The center section of the bushing is removed and the urethan=
e rides directly on the thicker pin.  I=E2=80=99d think a special washer wo=
uld be needed on the inside points. 

  Additionally, a modified A-Arm is drilled to accept Zerk fittings to grea=
se the bushings. The angle is rather peculiar to drill the holes. Tom Hall =
(I believe) made, or sells(? ) a jig to do this.  I made my jig out of hard=
wood with acceptable but not ideal results.  I also used the black urethane=
 bushings but since I have the very early Derik White supplied fulcrum pins=
 from Africa (not upsized) I needed to retain the bushing steel center piec=
e.  Unfortunately 19+ years on jackstands so I can=E2=80=99t attest to the =
durability?
