Default For tracking the car

Bobcat If you are looking for tracking the car alot, goto poly bushing. I have them on my car. Just suspension sells them if they are still in bussiness. All you need to the correct size for shaft and bushing hole in the arm. You will need to grease them after every event or guessing about 500 miles. You can drill a grease fitting into the bush mount in the middle and depending on which bushing you get, some are split designed and others are solid. I used a dremmel tool and added a 1/16" channel in a twist from end to end for the grease to fill the opening and lube the complete pivot point. The bushing has a solid sleeve in the middle and drilled a hole through it. when all is done you should see grease coming out both ends. Need a good grease gun or may have to go with air assist. To install and remove bushing, get a ball joint press. Pop in and out. Side note, FREEZE bushing over night and helps get them installed easier with a thin coat of grease. I use Lucas high temp heavy grease, works good and stay in place. Still running the same bushing for the last 14 years. ERA doesn't recomend the hard plastic ones for the street. Talked about this with Pete and Doug. Good Luck Rick L.
