<DIV>Were they the standard rubber bushings, or were they the urethane?
The last recommendation I heard was to use the urethane bushings with new,
upsized fulcrum pins. The center section of the bushing is removed and the
urethane rides directly on the thicker pin. I’d think a special washer
would be needed on the inside points. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Additionally, a modified A-Arm is drilled to accept Zerk fittings to
grease 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
hardwood 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
piece. Unfortunately 19+ years on jackstands so I can’t attest to the
durability?</DIV>

<DIV>So what is the consensus on replacement bushings for the A-arms? The last
set of rubber ones didn’t last 8 years, three of which the car was in storage.
They were from Rick. </DIV>
