I would be in for a set of the rubber rear bushings, The stainless shafts are just too heavy for me. The factory shafts are hollow and half the weight as long as they are not rotten...

Well, shoot. I have a set of as yet, unused poly-graphite from the first GB but always wanted rubber so I'm in for a set.

I'd like to hear a bit more about the installation though. Seems like if the tolerances are OEM, then some cussing should be required to get them in much like the fronts.

We are in the process of doing the A arm bushings in rubber
We can easily do these up in a polyurethane at the same time, just have to do enough to pay for the materials and set up would be looking at 25 sets to do the Poly

The GB would be for a set of 4 (enough for 1car)

For $28 in rubber

and $36 in poly

To get the pricing right we need 40 takers in rubber and 25 in Poly


We've been in testing on these for some time and had made a couple variations.
This is what they look like.

SO Who's in?

put me in for two sets for two cars both front and rear

Not sure if I want rubber or poly? new shafts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
This is about the only job I haven't done because I don't have any issues.
If you do poly is there a way of adding grease fittings?

I have Full Motion (needle bearings) on the fronts.
Hot street car only, I might do a DE now that I'm a PCA member.

'cause they're not going to be available 'til end of Dec?

..So - as for the current A-arm bushings on the site, they say "NEW" but have no mention in the description of what they are made of (tho the tool is described as delrin). So I'm confused again, are these the latest iteration new rubber that the rear trailing arm bushings are GOING to be offered in? And are the current rears on the site (which also have no description of material composition) an "old" version?

Just trying to put together an order for the current sale and not wanting to purchase soon to be outdated parts by mistake.

I bought a pair of their SS shafts in the GB for poly graphite bushings at least a year ago, so they've been available for quite awhile. I don't see them on either the new or old web site though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The "OLD" material is a poly-graphite, we are making a OEM version with an option for urethane if we have enough interest. So far I'm not seeing it we can bring in a multitude of compounds so I'm sure we could make a great product, but at the small quantity we will be using it will be at a premium, so unless we have enough interest it will not pencil out.


At this point the OEM version has held up very well for many years, so we will definitely be making these.

These will be ready soon. Still not seeing enough demand to do the Poly. I have to bring in a min 50lbs of material. For the cost it's not penciling out at this time.

I see you haven't shipped my "Black Friday" order yet, can you hold it till these are ready?

I'll take a poly set, but if you don't have the numbers I'll take the OE set.

These are running this week, Didn't generate enough interest to do the urethane. We can revisit them if there is enough interest, just can't justify bringing in the material.

PM's to follow shortly.
