Re: Installing Polish bushings .. ?

OK.. But you did the control arms and like them.. right?

I don't see how these work (or will last?) .. cuz they are totally different from OEM bushings! Not just in material.. stiffness, etc. BUT in design! They float in what was the OEM pressed in bushing space! What moves now?? Seems like both the inner metal bushing AND the outside of the poly bushing would have to slide (instead of being held to a certain position by a fused rubber bushing!).. by design. Wondering, first, if it works? Second, if it will last (with the obvious necessary movement) .. ???

Did you grease both the inner metal .. and outer poly surfaces on your control arm bushings?

Thanks, Jim
