[Land-speed] A-arm and other bushings

[Benn]

A million years ago I used steel bushings with zerks on the upper A-arms of 
my roadracing 'vette (the non-loaded arms; i.e., the ones that didn't carry 
the spring load, FWIW).  Worked fine, no issues.   I would think on a 
vehicle that you don't really care about ride and doesn't get a lot of miles 
on it that solid steel would work fine.
